Sweet suspension gear. Thanks for making our bikes better. Best of luck racing AMA this year. | ||

That could be really good. Josh has been our Pirelli provider for some time out West and has raced Buells for Latus since the early XB days and can give Ohlins a LOT of good feedback. | ||

Latus has been hinting at this for a while, guess this confirms it! Josh and Alan will do well. (Alan in the #1 plate holder in our local racing outfit and an instructor for one of the track day groups. One hell of a rider.) I do wish we could see a Buell with "factory" components. Last look I got at Josh's bike it had a chain, and extended swing arm, and now an Olins set? Not a lot of Buell left there... | ||

The swingarm is Buell. It's just from their race department.  There are not very many stock factory swing arms used by different manufacturers in national and international racing. This is usually to change the flex characteristics, the geometry, or the linkage for the rear shock. The Buell racing swingarm simply facilitates running a chain conversion and speeds up wheel changes. | ||

And was about three inches longer... I'm not sure this was a Buell part, but I'll hit the "I believe button" and hope it was. | ||

I can't help but to see things in a positive light.  | ||

And was about three inches longer... I think that follows with the length of my XB chain conversion swingarm. | ||

The swingarm and parts were ordered from Buell. The parts allow the bike to pull higher in the revs to get more top end speed. Therefore we can outrun Duc. 1098s. |
