No special parts because its just and S with stickers
If you are looking for an R, hold out for the real thing

They had a lightened crank compared to the base but its not in the same leage as the R crank.these still had titanium connecting rods and lightened crank. i don't think these are worth the extra money that people ask for them considering they are a sticker job on an earlier 999s.
That's a little incorrect: the Team USA/Parts Unlimited was actually a 2007 limited edition 999s bike.They ceased production in 2006 so that was the last year of production . Not a true 999 based bike at all .Wait and get yourself a Xerox or an R .
That's also a little incorrect: both S and R has forged crank while the base was cast. The S is definitely not "just a lightened base crank".They had a lightened crank compared to the base but its not in the same leage as the R crank.
the only difference is the stroke. they didn't do any fancier lightening to the 999R crank compared to the 999S.They had a lightened crank compared to the base but its not in the same leage as the R crank.
so witch one are you saying is a 999R crank? the one in the middle looks like its a longer stroke than the 999S crank! for what i know? i've seen plenty of 999R cranks and i've got three 999S cranks right now. and none of the 999S cranks i've seen are knife edged like the one you're showing. the one on the end looks like someone gave you a 848 crank and said its a 999S.Dont quote things you know nothing about .
999RS 999R 999S oh yes there a BIG difference.
Please yourself what you believe but the one on the left is out of an 04 RS , the middle is out of an 06 R and the right is out of an 05 S . The other pictures are variants of the base then the S then another of the RS. How on earth you can determine the stroke when you cant even see the journal is also quite baffling. And last is an 848 Crank.so witch one are you saying is a 999R crank? the one in the middle looks like its a longer stroke than the 999S crank! for what i know? i've seen plenty of 999R cranks and i've got three 999S cranks right now. and none of the 999S cranks i've seen are knife edged like the one you're showing. the one on the end looks like someone gave you a 848 crank and said its a 999S.
As for your picture of a 999S crank . I have doubts about it. It looks like a cut down base crank. Which I have seen many of.i have a pic too. this one has a 999S crank in it though. the other two look just like this one from different year motors. the two in the background are not the S cranks. they're not even 999 cranks.
I`d like to see the chassis number . But I`ll be surprised if the 10nth digit was a 7 .That's a little incorrect: the Team USA/Parts Unlimited was actually a 2007 limited edition 999s bike.
It was only available in the US (all 150 of them) to celebrate Hogson and Bostrom: IIRC both of their autographs are on the tail section.
Non an R bike, but definitely legit. As said a sticker job on an S

I'm not pretending to know everything. which i don't. I know what I've seen but i haven't seeen everything. I'll bet you haven't either...As for your picture of a 999S crank . I have doubts about it. It looks like a cut down base crank. Which I have seen many of.
I`ll take that back as I cant remember a pin in the journal of any 999 cranks.
