2004 S4r.
Sorry for the shitty pictures, I took my wife's Nikon D60 with a nice new 55-200mm lens, but come to find out, my dumbass didn't put a SD card in it, so I had to use my Bold.
Here is the swing arm in stock form:

Now I just purchased this little beauty from Chris@cyclecat. Brand new, never mounted.

This is a Dymag Carbon Fiber Swingarm. From what Chris told me, Dymag made between 20-25 of these for street bikes. He says this is the last one that is not mounted on a bike and has no idea how many are still in existence. He got this from Alfred at On-Cycles.
Now, there was a story a while back about one of these and it came apart on the track. From what Chris told me, the guy (or whoever he bought it from) tried to convert a street version into the race version. Apparently the individual removed that metal "ring" in the hub portion. Well, the make the beast with two backser came apart and hopefully the guy wasn't hurt too bad.
This thing is bad ass and pretty rare. Almost makes me want to keep it above my fireplace and not mount on my bike!!! I am really not a bling person, but had some good investments come due, Chris gave me a good price, so what the hell?
This is longer than stock, so a friend was telling me I need a longer rear spring as my stock one could make the beast with two backs up handling and lead to instability and a potentially dangerous situation. Anyone have thoughts on this? If so, where do I procure a new spring?
Also, I will be selling my stock swing arm once I get this installed in the next few days. It has 7k miles on it and appears to be in perfect condition. It will only be the swingarm, none of the other parts or anything as they are going on the new one. If interested, PM me now. I will post in the appropriate forum once I have it back and clean it up (not that it is dirty, but just general road grime and won't sell it that way just because, well.......I won't)
