An H build is going to be your cheapest option having most of the parts.

Just remeber it was an H2 that won the chamionship in 1990 , the Ls never realised their potential :smt002

Racers aren't much fans of the H1 swinger which I dont understand (except the weight saving) as if you look at MotoGP bikes the not only go for an over or under braced arm but with side infills too :smt004 Something that is destined for one of my H1 arms if not two :smt003 The stiffer the backend the more power you can lay down in bends and get away with. Recently seen an L model racer with a converted H swingarm on it and it was a pro-series bike, rider said it turned in quicker with a shorter wheelbase and he was able to get the power back on sooner.

MM!
