Just a couple of questions.

1) In order to get a hold of the trellis swingarm, is waiting for someone to part their bike out the only way? Any alternatives for getting a hold of this piece for a 695?

2) I've been trying to read around to find out what it is, but on the flightcycles ss2r, and it seems to be the same for their other showcase bikes, there's no airbox where an airbox is supposed to go. Am I missing something? I love the empty space under the tank and would love to have the same on my bike. How?

Thanks, monster folks

1) I think thats a custom piece that you will need to hire someone to build. It isnt a DP part, or a manufactured part.
2) Sounds like Pod filters to me.

#2 they use pod filters instead of the airbox, but you will need tuning to adjust for the extra air your bike will be taking in

I used pod filters on each throttle body and a custom built bracket setup underneath the tank to hold all the electronics and such out of the line of sight.

Difficult?  Yes.

Worth it?  OH HELL YES!

Yeah, that's it. Awesome. Thanks for clearing that up. You do some amazing stuff, you know. The swingarm I'm referring to is the one off of the s2r. I've seen them here and there when someone had a crash and parts the bike out. Wishful thinking about there being a permanent place, I guess. Thanks again, guys
