Hi All,

While surfing today I found this that might be interesting to some of the dual-sport guys out there.

Thats looks neat I wonder if it will hurt the swing arm. It sure wont be much fun cleaning the mud of it each night. :D

What kind of a sick, twisted person cleans the mud off their bike before they get home.:D Thats always the best picture, the mud pit you're riding into the driveway.:)

Sorry Rick,
I forgot the smilies to let you know I was joking around. I fixed it. Just a failed attempt at humor. Still a noob I guess.

Hi Rick,
Maybe not, but after rereading my post it didn't sound right to me and there are enough rude people in the world without me adding to them.

Back to the original subject, IMO even though it would add some unsprung weight to the axle, dual-sport suspentions are built pretty stout so I don't think it would put any undue stress on the swingarm, provided you ride like your pulling a trailer back there. My thought was to use the trailer to get your stuff into the mountains or wherever, setup camp, cable lock the trailer to a tree and then ride the rough stuff with a lite bike.

Just a thought, Guy
