REVIEWS - 6061 Pro Series Lahaye Swingarm by Chet Callahan

I recently received the 6061 Pro Series Swingarm from Lahaye and my first response was, WOW. This swingarm not only looks waaay better than all of the others, but from what Josh Lahaye told me, it is much stronger too. At first look, I could see that it was set apart. Looking from the side, you can see the webbing for increased strength to the double vertical bars instead of the usual one. This swingarm also features 4 sealed bearings instead of the usual 2 bearings. When I picked up the swingarm for the first time, I noticed it was very light. This swingarm is about 1.5 pounds lighter than stock. One of my favorite things about this swingarm is a clear chain roller. It looks trick.

The installation only took me about 20 to 30 minutes and was very easy. I immediately noticed a change in my bike. It looks awesome and with the new 2 inch longer swingarm, my bike has more ground clearance and seat height. The 6061 Pro swingarm is 330 bucks which is the around or the same price as the other traditional style swingers, but in my opinion, it looks way better and is waaaaay stronger. So I give this product an A+ for looks and for performance.
