Yeah, these guys have taken over where RoadRacing left off and improved on things.

Downsides: The price. And they are probably radioactive.

That last part isn't true, but it's what I tell myself so I don't run out and buy one Smiley

Not insane.  I almost bought a spare 1000SS swingarm off ebay last year.

At an approximate list of $2400 to $3000, that's a Mother$%^kin lot of money to add to the mod list.

I researched those guys last year as an alternate to a swollen tank.  They're unfamiliar with some pump configurations and sending them your tank was one way to clarify what you'd need on the new tank.

I'm not saying they're not worth it.  Handmade.  Beautiful welds.  But adding 25-30% of the total cost of my bike is quite a hike in the accessory budget.

$2300 is a lot of scratch, but had I unlimited funds I'd be all over one of these for the 998.
