delete secondary arm from rear swinger?

Post by Kie »

New member here from Seattle USA. I’m in the midst of resurrecting my 1988 French market RC30 # 2001951. Not my first ‘30 and hopefully I won’t be stupid enough to sell this one as I’ve been in the past.

This ex-racer on auction really lights my candle:

On this example I notice the extra gizmo on the swingarm has been deleted. I’ve always wondered what that thing did.

Is it as simple as just unbolting it? What are the pros/cons of such a modification?

Thanks all!

Kie R.
