Probably not... but while I was deciding on which swing arm I would use on my Project KR No2 I came across this sectional view of a 848/1098/1198 Swing Arm. Thought I'd share it just in case anyone was interested :Shy:
I notice that is constructed from two sections, is it welded or bonded? I also have a couple of technical questions... If you showed the cross sectional area from a yellow bike, would the red section shown be yellow, and would the colour change make it lighter for racing purposes or are red ones truly faster?
Fook knows - but the red Vs yellow question is an interesting one for sure... lately it goes like this: 916 - red faster 996 - equal 998 yellow faster 999 red faster 1098 red faster 1198 red faster 1199 red faster Thanks for you're interest.
I was thinking about this last night. Talking to MADASL about using a modified Ducati trellis frame on my NC30 project and was day dreaming about a tubular sssa to match... There's a lot of things to consider when it comes to frames and swingers
I was thinking on KR No2 using a 1098 swing arm with the shock still on one side - but obviously on the left instead of the right as the original - thought it would have been quite wacky. I would, however, have had to cut into the swing arm and re shape to allow clearance for the shock and lower mount. I had been considering swing arms fro ages and ended up with this idea - then realised the true solution was sitting right under my nose - a later Black 999 swing arm would look the dogs bollocks with my Penske Shock - so going this route now.
I wish! It's actually from a co in the US who are in the process of making them for the 796/1100 Monster's. This is their 1st prototype.
I saw a nice one in MADASL workshop a while ago but I think it was from a production model. I'm not sure which though
I can design it and bend it, but it's my none existing welding skills that would cause it to brake When I say design - I mean reverse engineer of course...
