black swing arm
had a day off today to get the swing arm on thought i would take a day at it because pound to a pinch of sh1t sumut will go wrong! as it goes it went ok one of the lower linkage bolts was stuck solid and took 4ton on the press + heat. I put greese nipples in the linkages so now i can keep on top of it. I was after a better looking chain guard and when i took the standard one off i found that the pyramid hugger incorporates a chain guard result! seems the old one was just bolted over top
If sh1t were money you would be worth a fortune

Swing arm looks good
where did you get the carbon straps for the exhaust? I like them
also your rear disk looks worn

Looking good Pete. My hugger/ chain guard is a Pyramid and the original chain guard fits over the top completely , don't know if you could?

Re: black swing arm
I think the Pyramid is designed with putting the original chain guard over the top in mind. Looking good Pete and I'm liking the little bits of carbon in places. You just need some carbon hangers now.

Re: black swing arm
Carl is correct, the pyramid hugger is designed for the original to fit over the top, I don't think it covers enough of the chain otherwise. On its own the rear end could get a bit mucky from chain lube. I know where he got the c/f straps from....
HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!

Al just keep an eye out on ebay for akrapovic straps. Just make sure they are the right size and shape.

Re: black swing arm

Re: black swing arm
I use the back brake a lot, especially on corners or just gradually slowing down to lights. Saves wear and tear on the fronts and it's cheaper to replace one set of pads than two.
