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? (http://www.bikehps.com/acatalog/57170_xl.jpg) Title: Re: Carbon Fibre Swing-arm Post by: DucHead on April 01, 2011, 03:27:09 AM Jizz...
Title: Re: Carbon Fibre Swing-arm Post by: junior varsity on April 01, 2011, 07:07:18 AM it is not the same from my memory.

Title: Re: Carbon Fibre Swing-arm Post by: MonsterMan1036 on April 01, 2011, 08:18:42 AM that first pic is only a rendering right? Yes. How about a CF frame to go with that swinger [evil]: (http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c271/billybongthorten/Group%20Pics/Carbonswingarm.jpg) Title: Re: Carbon Fibre Swing-arm Post by: DucHead on April 01, 2011, 08:50:52 AM Yes. How about a CF frame to go with that swinger [evil]: Holy shiznit!!!! [thumbsup] Title: Re: Carbon Fibre Swing-arm Post by: mickb on April 01, 2011, 09:16:06 AM apparently more than a redering, see:

This is an image "with hugger", and are obviously renderings. (http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e344/Motowheelscom/1098/1098swingarm_hugger_01.jpg) (http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e344/Motowheelscom/1098/1098swingarm_hugger_02.jpg) (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. Title: Re: Carbon Fibre Swing-arm Post by: mickb on April 01, 2011, 09:43:26 AM Is this a better pic?
(http://www.bikehps.com/acatalog/57170_xl.jpg) Title: Re: Carbon Fibre Swing-arm Post by: junior varsity on April 01, 2011, 09:52:31 AM 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.

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