The x56 type frame (as per my XP-X) has a different pivot point entirely and even the the struts meet the swingarm further away from the axle.

Oh what the hell, at that price I think I'll just put one on my XP-X (856) and lengthen the struts and thus the wheel base and see what happens...........(Maniacal laughter........)

Noooooooo, you wouldn't. Hmmm, or would you?

You gotta snoop through the galleries more often, bud. If you have those two little holes you're ready to make an adaptor and put on a disc if you want.

And Colin - THANKS for the find, eh?!

Still got them at a great price.

Holy Schnizle Wankel!

Good job, I will get in touch.

Can I have one too?! I'm all caught up in the excitement of carbon on the cheap... (And I'm just kidding. I only have 5000 frames, no need for one of these).

Talk about expensive though. With shipping, those babies cost over TEN dollars EACH! Dang. I'd have drawn the line at $5...

Wish I could get a spare pivot bushing kit for my 5000's for that cheap!

[smiley=laughing.gif] [smiley=laughing.gif] Hey, I didn't know he was German.

Excellent job, Chad! Looks like you got us all a great deal. Better than anyone know's yet.

Chad is going to put up the list of who's getting what and how many. It looks like everyone in the thread that has spoken up so far get's their wish. If there's any last minute changes to be made we can figure it out, but we think everyone's covered already.

Again, Colin - THANKS for the find. Chad - GREAT bidding. THANKS!

Wankel · « **Reply #37 on:** November 20, 2005, 02:25:44 pm »

Ok guys. Here's my semi final - final list of who I'm going to get my swing arms to:

Jinder
Ionit
Andrew
shovelon
Fio
Collin
Carbon Angus
Wankel (me)

I think we got it! I'll make one more post tomorrow about these, and we can go from there

!! If you would like, guys in the list are welcome to start PM'ing me your shipping addy's (except for the few that I'm sending all at once to Andrew for him to distribute between those fellows) and I can start tallying up the shipping cost's.

Thanks guys, Take care.
-Chad

very shrewd colin..if it doesnt work on the xpx you still have a swingarm for the 857...

or 98 1000,2000,or 3000

Colin · « **Reply #39 on:** November 20, 2005, 08:52:15 pm »

All,
Well done Chad!
I contacted one bidder who was bidding against us to offer him one as a deal.
===================================
Hi,
If you only want one of these then please contact me. I'm not the person you're bidding against, but I know him. If you want one we can sort you out with one. no sense beating up the price if you just want one?
No offence, your choice.......Good Luck

U bet!! One or perhaps two is all i'm really looking for. I'm looking at replacing the Aluminum swing arm in a Proflex 856. Would u know if this composite swing arm is a direct replacement? Otherwise i have a K-2 Proflex 4000 which this composite will be direct swap.
======================================

But it wouldn't be any good for him anyway!
I assume it wasn't any of us bidding?

I've contacted him and recommended our Group and Forum to him.

What'll be the cheapest Shipping to the UK?
This is an extremely extravagant "spare" for me as I've only got an 857 frame not a complete bike, but at that price each, it's not a fortune is it?

Any other takers in the UK to share shipping costs?

It'll be important to declare the value as below £18 i.e. about $34 to avoid Customs Duty which would then also be applied to the shipping cost as well if the value is declared as too high!

Regards
Colin S.

Hi Wankel. I gave you a PM about the shipment to Canada.
see-ya.

Wankel · « **Reply #41 on:** November 21, 2005, 04:41:42 am »

Ok, I think that does it guys. We've got them all spoken for. Like I said in the PM's " Merry X-mas!! " Hope all of you are ok with this.

-Chad

Frankd3000 · « **Reply #42 on:** November 21, 2005, 09:25:02 am »

Okay Chad, we're set.

Shoot me an e-mail again (still have it? if not it's under my username) to refresh my memory as to your PayPal account address. I have all the money sitting and waiting in my PayPal balance. We'll get into details on the e-mail.

Ionit, Jinder - i'll e-mail you guys about the payment details. Fair enough as "our" shipping cost will differ from everyone else's, yes?

Merry Christmas everyone!

Frankd3000 · « **Reply #43 on:** November 21, 2005, 09:34:32 am »

Oh, Chad, maybe it's a better idea to not jump the gun with figuring out shipping costs JUST yet? Remember, these still need to wind up in your posession.

With all of these coming to you you're going to have a big job - you'll have to re-package them all. Maybe better to wait and see how big a box you'll be using to ship to whom and such?

Unless you've done this a million times and you've got it under control. Just a thought.

Colin - that was very kind of you! I was going to suggest it, but thought it might look like I was trying to pull a profit. Hilarious how that turned out!!!! [smiley=laughing.gif] [smiley=laughing.gif] [smiley=laughing.gif]

jinder · « **Reply #44 on:** November 21, 2005, 11:12:54 am »

Chad... my PM isn't working... and my Paypal is really messed up. I can't send any money.
