Looks like a nice piece but it would be nice to get an up close look. I understand how to reduce unsprung weight on a car and the purpose behind it. I'm trying to comprehend what effects this swing arm will have on handling characteristics.

Thanks for the lead, Joe, interesting site...
A significant reduction in unsprung weight can be felt; made quite a difference on my last bike

Not stock available for newer Dynas. As already stated by the OP, Sputhe also offers one but they are not in production at this time. In addition KJ offers one

Pretty pricy at $1368 though.
