My 2015 raptor 700 looks heavy and is heavy, compared to my banshee. The swimarm looks beefy, but heavy. Might not be, is it? I'm considering an aftermarket simple straight bar replacement like on my banshee. No arches or ladders needed. Just want to reduce some weight and clean things up. What do you think the weigh reduction would be? I plan on taking off the parking brake and rest of the clutter as well. Thanks

These seem way on the cheaper side price wise, but any opinions? http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-TYSON-R...ash=item43e8fcbd22:g:1eQAAOSwGotWqZaJ&vxp=mtr

The key word in that listing is "RACING". I don't see enough gussets, especially at the carrier area. I've seen many fail in that area. If all you do is race, it may be fine. But, if you trail ride or put torsional twisting on it, I don't think I would get that one. As far as weight, I don't think you would loose much. Unless you want it extended, I would keep the factory arm.
