gl_s_r,

That's a very nice looking bike :!: 8) 8) 8) (Still think the pic could doing with being a little bigger :wink: plus the ones of the rear view would be good in a bigger size too :!: ) You've got some nice mods there. Those brakes up at the front must be amazing too :!:

Back to the subject of the braced swingarm, do you think it makes any difference to the handling of the bike, or is it purely for show :?: It certainly makes it look more up to date, probably being black helps too.

Chris.

PS. A couple more pic's from the gallery for RST Steve:-

the bikes looking good bud,
you been out on it since fitting any of the bits????
if so what do you think of the brakes???they stop you on a sixpence dont they.

chris,

i actully did think haveing the swinging arm fitted did make a huge difference,and not just for show,however i did have the brakes gl_s_r has fitted aswell which helped,along with the forks you had of me.
(and you know how good just haveing the forks feels)

so altogether it was a real nice package.
pat.
yellow all the way...
who needs 4 cylinders when 2 are this good!!

storm no more...rsv power now.
(along with 85cc of honda finest)

These are the pics i need thanks Chris.

One thing though has anyone noticed that everyone that has Harris rearsets never has heel plates. Did they come with heel plates or was it an optional extra?? Might have to make myself some to stop me frazzling my boot on my pipes.lol :D
