We are now importing Dymag wheels and their amazing Carbon fiber swingarm for the 98-01 R1.
http://www.cyclemall.net/images/dymagarm.gif
The info on the Dymag carbon fiber swingarm is:
32% lighter than stock arm
14% greater torsional rigidity than stock arm
Complete traceability of manufacturing process &
materials.
The whole process from design to mould manufacture to
final product is completely contained within Dymag’s own facilities
Supplied with replaceable Carbon chain protector to
prevent the chain damaging the arm
Supplied with rear hugger
Suits standard wheels and brakes (or Dymag options),
but requires longer spindle (supplied)
Designed using computer finite element analysis and 3D modelling
Tested using in-house test facilities to 3 tons vertical
static load attached via the suspension pick-up point. No damage to the arm, but the 0.5” diameter attachment bolt was severely bent! Test rig was
unable to apply any greater load
Followed up by track & road tests. Test rider reported more precise handling when laying the power down, which he attributed to the increased torsional stiffness. Using the stock arm, the bike was prone to side-to-side movement under heavy acceleration out of a corner under racetrack conditions. This characteristic has been eliminated with the C/fibre arm
No R1 should be without one!!
$2600.
