what thye hell is this piece ! and sssa ?
what the hell is the piece that is directly to the right of the radiator that covers up theframe a little more on the yellow and blue bike #1 with akro pipes. Also what bike will its single sided swing arm come off of and bolt up to my vtr. last question is what pros and cons are there with a sssa?
thanks guys.

Wow, a bolt-on single sided replacement for the swingarm would
be WAY COOL!!

The bits you are refering to are 'ram air' ducts that are part of the stage 3 tune the racing bike has.
As for the SSS then the cheapest route is to fit a modified VFR800 back end.
It's no ten minute job but looks well cool when fitted.

I've not had chance to review all the pictures on this forum but I kind of guess the SSS ones will be of my bike (or that yellow one perhaps)...I must have the most photographed and published VTR on the web, the bloody things pop up everywhere.

where can i buy those ram air ducts from and would they fit my mario nava fairings or would i have to modify the body work . i just like the way that they kind of hide the frame being seen in that part of the bike. is there a post already on how to install the swing arm ? and how to modify it?
thanks for all your help.

I asked Daz the very same question today, and here's his reply.
In all honesty it is a lot of work, but if you have the connections it's
quite easy to do.
Parts list
VFR 800 back end - swing arm, wheel, engine tie bar, brake & calliper.
New exhaust (rear header pipe needs to be relocated).
Special mounting plates for shock to SSS mount (Jon Collier can help here).
Alloy spacers to bulk out engine side of VFR tie bar.
Once you have the bits it's a case of bolting the SSS in with either the VTR
or VFR swingarm bolt.
With the VFR one fitted you will need to cut the locating lugs off the front
pegs, with the VTR ones fitted you will need to make some spacers to place
between the pegs and the SSS (basically the VFR one is shorter, I had one of
these fitted last time but will try the VTR one this time...yes I'm about to
do the whole lot again! ).
Once fitted you then need to mount the engine tie bar and measure how big
the alloy spacers will need to be made.
To be honest the spacers are not the best idea but I have not got round to
making a new tie bar which would be much stronger.
Ok once mounted attach the bottom of the VTR shock to those nice plates made
by Jon (I have been told that 02 Blade ones are similar but can't comment)
and rotate it into position so that the top mount is next to the frame (oh
yes the rear subframe and exhaust need to be removed at this point). Mark
this position and drill a new hole in the frame which will be about 2" to
the left of the original hole and attach the top shock mount.
So now you SSS is secured to the bike you can put all the tail unit back on
and start work on the rear header pipe which now has to be moved right to
avoid the shocks new location.
After that it's a simple case of shortening the VFR chain to fit (remember
the VFR has a 43T rear so don't forget to put your old 16T front back on
again or acceleration will be mental).
Finally you have to pipe up the rear brake which has 3 pistons (linked
calliper) and 2 banjo points. Connect up the rear point which will work the
two small pistons and leave the large centre one redundant.
And that makes Robert your fathers sibling!
