There are a lot of different styles and colors of leather Hayabusa jackets on eBay. Most are $150 - $200 including shipping.
Click here.
Kiwi Rider and others that are "Down Under," click here. This is a eBay seller in Australia that has or makes what you want. They made my two piece race leathers.
Quality of leather is good, craftsmanship is excellent and prices are awesome !
tip - order a size larger than your normal, had to exchange my first order for larger size

You won't notice any difference. Adams arms are top quality, used by a lot of builders.
Suzuki put it their so if you are inclined , you can effectively put down your full horse power safely in and out of a turn .

I doubt swingarm flex is what's holding most people back from that Toad....
Yeah , not many may try , but those that do brave a full noise turn at least got that little extra peace of mind !!
I don't think the flex is a problem on drag bikes. The bike is not leaned over under power (turn exit). If you want to ride the twisties, that arm might flex. Probably still rideable though.
A drag length arm is certainly not what you wan't for cornering , and as a lot of modded Busa are fitted with them , I imagine most don't go ape when confronted with such roads .
Personally , I really like those more beefy built aluminum extended swingarm ( braced ) , maybe on my next build , but I got a different arm altogether ordered up for this current L2 Busa .

I'm out of town, and only have a phone. So my reply will be short. Earlier GSXR's had arms with no bracing. I'm currently considering trying a 2002 gsxr 600 arm my friend has sitting on a shelf. Reason weight, and a touch shorter wheel base. I'm one of the guys that could tell if it Flexs to much.
If it does I could add under bracing.
Would like to have the top portion open for eaiser access to my shock.

GSXR11's also had a lot less torque and hp off the shelf . You can have an extremely strong unbraced aluminum arm , depending on the aluminum used and the section form . Chrome molly is what you are looking at c10 isn't it , well that could be nearly tooth pick thin compared to aluminum and match it .
My next arm is fully braced aluminum , with big extrusions sectionsfor main arm . It is supposed to be 6.6kg , either 1-2kg lighter than stock , I have two conflicting readings I have read on hear , and have not been able to verify anything yet .

Toad I have a builder willing to make me a chromoly arm in stock length that will be 9 pounds lighter than stock. Price 700 bucks
US. Now if the GSXR 600 arm is light and little flex it would be Free
if it needed bracing I have a guy that could do it for 150 dollars. Powdercoat it through another friend for 50 bucks.

Well c10 , your idea sound very light for sure , and with your physical lithe weight , it will help a heap on top !! But I am happy with my choice , it is continuing the direction and form I like with my bike . Hey c10 , is the stock swingarm 17 lb or 19 lb ?

Lol I intend on going ape as you say through the turns, although I am only extended about 3.5 inches over stock. My reasoning was shear aesthetics, I don’t particularly like the wheel so far under the tail, and as @c10 said I like the open-ness of the modded arm. Some day I will have a pretty shock to oogle over and clean.
If I do find the arm to be restrictive in the aspect of my riding I will prob buy new sliders and bring the wheel inward closer to stock. If I still am unhappy I’ll mod my original stock arm to be tidied.
Is that a Ti wedding band?

Mounted my fans back on the Gen 2 radiator after powdercoating them.
