Radian Swing Arm

[Adamc]

How much shorter are your forks from stock XS650's? I love the stance and I'll be using a Radian swing arm.

Hello @46th Georgia
Sorry for the delayed reply.
Forks are from a Ducati (Unknown model)
Length from top of the fork tube to centre of the wheel spindle is 71cm.

Depending on the height of your bike you might need to take the kickstand length into consideration. Don`t ask me how I know.

I run a Radian arm on my bike.View attachment 239883
It is much stiffer and steers more accurately than the standard arm on my mates XS650.
Im happy with it overall.

Is the seat comfortable?

Me too....If you're using 19" wheels, stock stand is ~3" too short. The solution is a sidestand off an R1: same pivot mount and works with a minimal amount of additional fab

It’s a typically generic Flat Track type.
OK for Sunday rides with plenty of tea stops; but I wouldn’t tour on it.
