R1 Single Sided Swingarms are born at Gregg's Customs

Here's one fresh out of the chrome tank and one fresh off the welding jig.

xx

Damn, what do one of those go for?

Looks great, do you have a price set?

very nice work and someone said you couldn't weld looks pretty damn impressive to me don't ask how my self-lessons on mig welding have been the past few days (alright, there's plenty of catepillars on all of my sheet metal)

MMmmmmmmmmmm:cool: :yesnod

Nice work as always Gregg..

is it me or does that chrome not look too much different from the other?

:jump

That is awesome! Really nice work man. I bet you are going to be back-logged on making those things for a long time. How much are they going to go for?

Nice..

Stupid question but is the Swing-arm Aluminum and what about the Strenth of the swing-arm compared to the stock one (as far as Flexing).? Brooke

Greg dude you are killing me here.....man those are sweet as hell...(not that I can afford it but).....what kind of price range? What spindle and stuff you set them up for....Ducati? and what is the chance you would make a tubular dual sided swingarm...so I can keep my stock stuff but have a trick looking piece....

GREG, some questions about the SSSarm.... Which hub setup do you recommend for your arms ? Which wheel do you recommend ? ...And is it possible to have the open spaces between the tubes filled in to make a box section arm ? How much for the arm, and where can I get the hub and wheel set-up from ?

Can you or someone post a CLOSE-UP of the one on your bike ??

Hi All, I am making these for customers. The price is $1500 for the bare arm. $1600 for powdercoated and $2000 for chromed. They are made of Aircraft 4130 chromoly. They are very strong! I do make them to accomodate the Ducati rear drive setup. I can supply that as well as the rear wheel if you desire. They are a direct bolt on to the R1's and they use the stock swingarm bearings and all that. I think I answered all the questions. Let me know if you have more.

can we see pics of the other side?? how much will a wheel cost???

nice:yesnod

Hey Gregg, Can this swingarm be fitted onto other bikes, besides the ONE or a Ducati?

Any wheel for the Ducati's with the single sided swingarms will work. I can include a wheel, 3 or 5 spoke, or you can get that yourself. Here's a pic of a total package that I'm shipping to a customer. These wheels are 5 spoke Marchesini's that I chromed. I made some adaptors for the front wheel so it will bolt right on to the R1 and it will accept the R1 rotors. Rotor adaptors are not shown.

oh oh ... I want :lol Looks good Gregg.

Uh...Uh...Uh...AAAHHHH!!!!!!!!! Damnit...I need to change my underwear now. How much for the Duc parts to basically order it from you, and bolt it on when it shows up at my door?

*drool*

Hey VPREATR, I can make that exhaust for you no problem. Just decide what you want for a style and I'll whip it up for you.

Corny: Gregg started it. :fact :lol

:D :D :D :yesnod

How much for the exact exhaust you have? (no chromed, but maybe powdercoated black or something)

Gregg's Customs: The one thing I regret is my SSSARM requires a specific rear hub offset; so I'm not able to use standard rear Ducati rims or replacement parts like yours. It would be nice to have a few spares. :) The only portion I use that is Ducati is the spindle itself. As for the exhaust, the Turbo kit will leave a traditional outlet, the only reason why I didn't go undertail in the first place was concern for lost power; with the turbo I have little fear of that. :) Thanks!

hey guys what kind of wheel is this? is it the ducati wheel? this is the wheel i would like to have.

THE MUFFIN MAN: Early Ducati Tri-spoke vintage. (i.e. 748, 916, 996). It appears the owner didn't spend the money on adapters for the matching front wheel. :) If I recall the Tri-spoke is a 5.5" width wheel. Thanks!

Originally posted by THE MUFFIN MAN hey guys what kind of wheel is this? is it the ducati wheel? this is the wheel i would like to have. Yeah, I would too. That would let you use the stock front wheel, and not look out of place...since it's 3 spoke. Can she come with it?:boobies

Originally posted by THE MUFFIN MAN hey guys what kind of wheel is this? is it the ducati wheel? this is the wheel i would like to have. What wheels? :lol

The 5.5" rear will fit a 190/50 right ?? GREGG !!!! Will the rear drive assembly include a rotor and caliper ?? Would I have to upgrade my chain ?? How much would a three spoke wheel cost powdercoated black ? I'm going to email you these questions directly to you also.

Gregg's Customs: I’d be happy to install one of your SSSARM models on my track bike (Silver R1) and then report back with my full review in comparison to my other installed SSSARM. It may take months and months (or years) of review, although I’d be happy to offer my services; it’s the least I can do. :D :p Thanks!

most of the Daytonas and Speed Triples have SSSAs. Except for 2002 but 1997-2001 and 2003-> have SSSAs. That is off a Triumph. XT777...Triumph nut.

:eek: I just caught myself drooling. Nice work Greg:bow You da Man!!

Hey gregg do me a favor and stop posting pics dood.......im still trying to save up to get my shit polished from you.............now i want my shit polished....... a single sided swingarm........ marcesini chrome wheels.......... damn $$$$$$$........ itll never stop............... good shit though dood...........looks bad ass

woww man, that nice. very nice. Downtown:)

Hey!!!!! That's my old Blue 2000 R1. I had the Harris Single sided swingarm on it. It had full Ohlins when I owned it but I took it off and sold it separately. I used the Triumph rear drive with the Triumph wheel chromed. It is 6 inches wide. The Ducati wheels are 5.5" wide. That was a good bike. I wish I still had it.

Hmmmmm.......... I think I know where my tax return just went, I want one! :jump

Hey Gregg. You a member on the R6messagenet yet? You have a lot of potential customers there. One guy is having some email trouble trying to get in touch with you. http://pub114.ezboard.com/fyamahar6messagenetyamahar6general.showMessage?topicID=15079.topic That's the thread. Let me know if I can help out.

Hey Thanks for the heads up! I just checked my e-mail and he never sent me an e-mail. I'll e-mail him and tell him what's up. Thanks again!!

No problem. See I knew you wern't a bad guy.... now about that free SSSArm :lol

Hey gregg, would you be up for making one of those bad boys for my brother's 03 r6? Any plans in the future?

I can make them for R6's. E-mail me.

damn those sss's make me jealous.. i wish i was out of college makin some better $$ :'(

Guys any SSS you get form Gregg is well worth the money. I just wish the rest of my bike was as strong as his swing arms. I got my own wheels and you can save money there if your smart and take your time on Ebay. His prices are still great and whoever does the PC work is grade A. So I wouldn't spend your money anywhere else save its worth it for the looks and tire changes are a snap now also so 2 for points Gregg. Hes done 2 of my bikes and a third is on the way he is doing a frame for the 3rd can't wait. I will post pics of all 3 once I get them all done even though one might be on my profile not sure , then Im going to talk to Gregg about doing a bike with a front SSS. hmmm

o man i remember this thread from way back in the day nice bump the thread is only 5 years old

talk about thread revival batman

Hey, it's only 3 generations old :D

hey guys what kind of wheel is this? is it the ducati wheel? this is the wheel i would like to have. Nice ride. :thumbup And the bike is awesome too. :finger

:thumbupMe likey!

I got one of those. I love it. works just like stock even at 175+. but how do I keep the chain from rubbing on the bottom of the swingarm w/o over tightening?
