BMW Motorcycle Rear Wheel Swinging Arms

A rear wheel swinging arm is an important part of your motorcycle's suspension. Also known as a swingarm, swing fork, or pivoted fork, it attached the rear wheel to the motorcycle's body. That helps the wheel pivot vertically, while absorbing bumps and the loads sitting, accelerating, and braking place on your suspension. They can be either single- or double-sided, and come in many types.
