  2. Hope u don’t mind my asking, but how, HOW, are u keeping a 6m I section steel ‘secret’?
     
  3. It’s a new Exige product: invisible to the naked eye steel. He loves a prototype :upyeah:

  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:
     
  5. It's painted yellow :)
     
  6. I have a similar set of forks. The earlier fg8750 with radial bottoms.

    Is that a big hub front wheel too?
     
  7. There really isn’t much better on a bike that a rocking set of forks and a billet swingarm
     
  8. billet....nah, swing arms are generally made from several component parts to get strength in one place and flex in the other.
     
  9. 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
     
  10. I’d add a carbon swingarm to the loveliness list too :upyeah:
     
  11. give it up.....:upyeah:;)
     
  12. Looked nice whatever it was
     
  13. Your left hand is on the right side of your head :):upyeah:
     
  14. Cos he's ambidextrous...

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