    Welcome to the forum. Good luck with the trade. I'm just wondering why a person would put a regular XB swing arm on a Ss

    What year bike?

    Might be a worth while trade for someone trying to lower their Ss who is also looking to swap out the forks? Could make a stock looking S with a bigger tank and better neck angle.

    Welcome and Dave has a good point. Gotta be honest here, not sure anyone will down grade from an SS to a regular swing arm. Best way is to spend the $$$ on one and get started on the custom oil lines.

    New they are $450, plus you will need to modify the oil lines, shock mount, and get the longer belt. So if done all new about $900. Used swing arms can be found for $100, to help shave costs.
