This might be a dumb question but I was wondering if there is noticeable flex after time in the single sided swing arm?

my 995 has the double swing arm.

SSSA adds 6.5 lbs. It's cast aluminum...how much can it flex?

Other Motorcycle: anything I can get.
Everything flexes if it didnt the handling would be effected for the worse, the new Suzi's R1's and blades are engineering in more flex for better handling and feel. to a degree flex is good but not to chinese steel levels :-D
