I welded the tab on with the torque arm originally. Monkeys solution is  way to do it without the ability to weld. I then converted both of my bikes to the gsxr600 caliper brackets. With the bilt in torque arm. That slides in a channel welded inside the swing arm.

That's clean. I like it.
That's why I converted to the 600 caliper brackets.  Besides. The gsxr forum said that the 600 wheel is the lightest. Probably because of the bracket and the sprocket has 1 less bolt. You know less in unspung and reciprocating weight.
