  12. What is it, an ornament or a tool ? I see no benefit from adding a carbon fibre swing arm unless you are going to display the bike in your lounge. By your own admission, you didn’t ride it much last year. The cost of the swing arm will pay for 2 x 3 day open pit lane Spanish track days for me and Carole. I know what I’d prefer to do. Andy

  14. Your post started with the words “help me” so that’s exactly what I set out to do. Andy

  15. Don't listen to grumpy. He's wrong! He bought a Speciale- oh the irony.

    Get one, they're beautiful. Aaaand also, they're 15mm longer than OE so you'll need new chain and sprockets to go with it. I don't know what the weight saving is, but it's a good chunk.

    If you go for it, Rob, get your order in sooner rather than later. I think I waited about 8 weeks for mine. And get a tin of Mr. Sheene. You'll be able to see up ladies skirts with it. I got thrown out of Sainsburys :p
