well out of everyone originally interested you would be the only one left standing. when my guy gets back from newyork Tuesday I will ask how much money for just one or two pieces. I'll let you know

just to be safe, I don't see a 98 k1000. what bike do you have. the only 1000 I see is a 99 like mine

also where are you located. I don't need your address just general location.

Yes my 4000 is a '98 model and my 4500 and OZ are technicaly the same as they use the same carbon rear arm, so Im not sure it will fit. The dropout shape looks different to me. A real shame as your finished artical looks and obviously works fantastic.
Am I right in saying all the models on the 5996 sheet have aluminium swing arms? Thats maybe where the worry over heat dispersion came from for the carbon arms.

Chris

actually, I think you are correct, if it had an aluminum swlngarm between 98' and 2002 it will use this part, I can't find a CF swingarm that lists this part. sorry for the miss info

Yes the give away is the shape of the oval hole in the dropout. In the aluminium arm it is an oval but in the CF arm it is an egg shape. The rear edge of the CF dropout then mirrors that egg shape.
Its a quality peace of kit you have made so I hope you manage to pass on a few.

actually i was thinking of a two piece design that im sure would work and look pretty cool for the CF swingarms egg shape dropout. it's only in my head, but if i had a bike i bet i could design one

There is a race on the 15th that I want to do.  After that, I'll look into taking my swing arm off and mailing it to you.

[racesrc]

I will throwdown some drawings. if they come out good enough ill post them

[Spokes]

Your existing design would work perfectly fine if it was reshaped for the egg shape dropout . Drilling the CF arm dropout has been done successfully by many people who fitted the old hammerhead adapter so thats no problem.
