    When are they running the KR swingarm? Didn't Kiyo's championship winning bike last year run a modified standard swingarm?

    They just got it yesterday. Ordered it 4 months ago!

    There using it this weekend.


    They usually use a kit swing arm modified for captive spacers and brake callipers etc for quick wheel changes

    Was tempted to buy a KR swingarm for mine. Was coming with an Ohlins shock and an underslung Brembo caliper too, but just couldn't afford it. Would have been nice to have though

    Brookes move on rutter was a bit strong IMO.

    He looked pretty beaten up afterwards

    The swinginarm looked wicked on the bike today, also seems like HM plant Honda are pulling out all the stops in readiness for the 6 race shoot out, Shakey also had a New Ohlins shock and New Ohlins front forks.

    I'm thinking off writing him a letter asking can I have his old stuff

    I think they're around USD10k or something.
