  4. We have a new £2 million machine installation with hundred's of pieces - it's hidden amongst them, well, it was there when I acquired it actually :eyes:

  6. I have a similar set of forks. The earlier fg8750 with radial bottoms.

    Is that a big hub front wheel too?

  8. There really isn’t much better on a bike that a rocking set of forks and a billet swingarm

  9. billet....nah, swing arms are generally made from several component parts to get strength in one place and flex in the other.

  10. Moto 2 ones I’ve seen have been 1 piece. Sure a fella I met with a vds ex Marquez bike in Spain did. Certainly no signs of weld in usual spots

    It’s a one piece magnesium arm 20mm longer than standard with a magnesium eccentric hub and a billet machined top link.
