Just received the Minimoto +5cm Swingarm from Webike, so thought I'd share some photos for others considering the option. I wanted a stock looking Swingarm with a little added length to give the rear wheel better centering under the fender. If you order just the Swingarm with nothing else, it will cost you a little under $70 shipped to the US. I ordered it with several other parts, so I saved a little on combined shipping. Quality of the Swingarm is very good, especially for the price. It looks to be powder coated, which I will have to strip to re-powdercoat a different color. Mounting points for the stock chain guard are welded in the correct spots. It also comes with the proper length extended brake arm. The only issue I have is the brake stop tab is just a hair too big and will need to be ground down to fit in the brake cover slot. Pictures below show the bike with stock Swingarm and shocks, and with the Minimoto Swingarm and my mockup 280mm Birch plywood shocks. Overall, I'm very pleased and its exactly what I was looking for.

Aircraft coating remover will soften powdercoat and works fairly well - but as said above my local powder coater blasts in house so they can control the surface finish and prep to be sure that they get a good finish.
