I didn't see what it's made of. And if it's aluminum is this safe for riding a passenger.
Also what is the benefit of this and what is the weight savings over stock?

It is aluminum main extrusion sections , with billet machined axle ends , The aluminum used , IS listed on that listing link . The benefits are for better torsional rigidity , and also allows certain areas of flex to combine to be a stronger arm , with better torque twist etc. with handling in mind . Not much between the stock arm and this one in weight , never ridden 2 up on my thing , but I am pushing 130 kg in ride gear , that is 2 up weight for some !! Anyway , you may be better off keeping the standard arm , it is strong and does a great job already .

You have an excellent platform to start with....that's a nice bike in it's own right...

If you want to follow the 'Toad, you had better have really deep pockets.......he only has the best on his bike and they don't give that away...

I have ok pockets lol. I can do it a bit slowly but I been doing the math. I can swing it. Yes I definitely know it's top shelf parts and Iike that. I am serious about my riding. I'm going to put it all to use. This will be my street Killer
 
Definitely go with bst rims if you want rotational wieght loss I have them on my gen 2 and I'll never go back you'll bout 30 to 40 pounds of unsprung weight
