BST Carbon Fiber Swing Arm
We got to see some of the digital renderings of the supposed Carbon Fiber Swingarm BST was developing. Well here it is at the Indy Dealer Expo!
Very, very, very light.
Martin... I spoke to BST directly and they approved I should get the first one for free from you

They estimated $5000 to me yesterday. I think that is without a lighter hub as well.

is that going to make f/r weight ratio very odd? i think OEM steel swing arm is around 20-25 pounds (just a guess) say CF is 10lbs thats going to make the rear 15 lbs lighter. thats 4-5 % lighter.so front to rear ratio could be 55/45?
am i thinking wrong?
