Title: Carbon Fibre Swing-arm
Post by: mickb on April 01, 2011, 02:52:20 AM
Makes the Magnesium version look sooo last season  :)

Not sure if it fits the Monster, anyone know if the 848 swingarm is the same?

the first post pictures are only showing a single one now, and its all stretched funny, here's the BST carbon fiber swingarm for 1098-1198 (and I believe a version for 848 - difference in the size of the eccentric hub / axle spot I believe)

This is an image "with hugger", and are obviously renderings.

(taken from the Motowheels post on Ducati.ms)

If I'm not mistaken, the streetfighter, hypermotard, Monster 796/1100 and the 848/1098/1198 superbikes are all different swingarms with different lengths, hub styles and shock/pivot mount locations.

Yeah, still looks like a computer rendering from the high polish finish and perfect reflections (especially in the swingarm pivot and on the table) - show me one with smudgey fingerprints on the table and swingarm and some realistic glare from the camera flash, and we'll all know its actually being made.

im not convinced on that triple set. the edges look too sharp and the grain of the cf sheets are all too perfectly aesthetically aligned, much like what i think a billet triple covered in pretty sheets would look like. im no expert so feel free to prove me wrong.

It's a rendering of course, and BST are the masters of carbon fiber. The real thing probably doesn't look much different.
