Having the swingarm ...Hi Brad, Hope you are well. Having the swingarm go under the bike comes in handy every now and then when I put a bike on a train. Its really got nothing to do with handling and is just a by-product of having a fairly simple suspension system. In this bike build the rear pivot arm will be outside the tailbox which will make it a bit simpler to move the swingarm underneath. As well the bottom of the tailbox won't have holes in it and the stuff in the tailbox won't fall out or get dirty or wet from splashes.
