All that is Carbon Fiber

Sorry G.


It really is a classic name.

I have a Carbon Fiber Single Sided Swingarm somewhere. I think it is in Chris@cyclecats garage. Who knows anymore.

I thought you already had that installed.  Having issues or is it a direct bolt on?

I am not doing the work, so it has been on a few other busy individuals schedules.

It is not a direct bolt on because the 996 S4r motor is wider than the cases on a 996 SBK, so it won't directly fit.

we were looking into some different engine options and decided the easiest was to put narrower cases on my existing motor and not have to make the beast with two backs around with also sourcing a different motor, selling mine, etc etc.

We just need to get it over to Indianapolis for the motor work, then back here to get painted, bolted on, and then some suspension and exhaust custom work.

Sounds like you need to buy another bike so you don't miss most of the season

Last threadjack.........


I've also got my first Ducati which is a 99 750 with some FCR's and other goodies.


It keeps a smile on my face 

I am, though, about to buy my wife some sort of enduro bike as she wants that for her first ride. She doesn't like riding my 99 yet as it is my baby, so we are searching out a nice dual purpose bike for her. She is afraid that she will drop my Duc and I will blow a head gasket in anger. I tell her this isn't the case, but I'd sort of be heart broken to see a big ding in my bike.

But then again.........I love my wife and a bike is just a bike. Learning to ride is an experience. We've all dropped our first, second, third, or 4th bikes (ok, at least I have) in our garage, parking lot, etc.

So if she dropped it, I'd be pissed for about 2minutes and move on.


Then I'd be forced to spend money in the state of NH at DP's shop.........

I bought it for myself in 2005.

It just so happened that one rides in the house and the other wanted to learn

and

I have two bikes.

At the time, I hadn't saved up enough to buy her a beater bike.


But we went out to some parking lots to get her acquainted, she was scared of the front brakes (99's had one rotor, I upgraded to dual disc.......that make the beast with two backser's brakes are a bit scary at first).

So back to the saving board to get funds for yet another bike........shame shame
