This beauty is currently on eBay and while I would love to have it, I need some validation. There was a trend back in 2014 about Mugen swingarms on Vital so I need someone to weigh in here because the look of this arm is a little different. Any swingarm for these bikes is way cool, but if it is really a true Mugen arm...we'll 2K would seem like a bargin. There was recently a 34mm Kehin carb the seller claimed to be a Mugen, but there were a lot of doubts (at least in my mind as to the authenticity), but I am no expert on Mugen arms and while I have looked at many photos, I need someone with some Mugen expertise to weigh in on this one.

Mugen parts are so rare and there are people making these parts and while I know this seller, I want hear from others because the reality is that at some point you have to sell these parts and as time goes by what you can prove really does matter.

The front chain wrap bosses and the shape of the pivot bearing housings are also a give away that it's real. I've never seen a replica that has those features.
The replicas you can get are HEAVY, REALLY HEAVY. The "legs" are made from solid section, (Yes, really!) not box section as this one very obviously is.

Being an original, having an arm that bolts up and fits without having to be sent back multiple times and still not fit properly will be a welcome bonus!
