Just thought id share this with everyone as many people i talk to have never seen or heard of adjustable throw gen 7's...heres a pic of a polymide(black) standard gen 7 and my stainless steel adjustable gen 7...i originally bought two adjustable gen 7's from tony at swashdrive .I was very lucky as they never made many and as far as i know never advertised them...they were quite expensive(cant remember exact price but $600 plus rings a bell)...they have two grub screws by adjusting these you can set the throw from 1mm up to 6mm.
Just thought id share it with you guys as they arent that common or seen often.

Now that is a swash I would try. I wonder why they didn't make those in big numbers.

My boss has a stainless gen6, it's quite nice indeed but that 7 is even cooler. I wish they would have polished bodies, they'd be so much sweeter looking like an olschool fracking Cylon. If it was mine I'd buff it out until it gleamed...

Owlsden is right, Swashdrive should have pushed metal frames more....

yes I think the steel frame's would have been just the ticket as far as the weight and feel of the machine..I remember before the whip came out I herd chatter about an adjustable stroke swash drive.. thought maybe it was BS..thats cool

Quality Bronze iz such a beautiful metal and absorbs vibration so well...

Here we go for those wanting a better picture...Gen 7 stainless steel....I was speaking to tony on facebook the other week and they sorted out a few bronze gen 7's that were hanging around in craigs(the inventor of swashdrive) cupboards! but they were taking them to a aussie convention so i reckon they will be gone now?....
