1 Kryptonite Rear Disk Brake Lock... $45

90 foot pounds of torque... $10,999

The look on your face as you realize you left the lock on and launched your burnout?.... Priceless.

Sorry about your loss, but cool picture nonetheless!

Heres the rub Reepicheep. No burnout just a kitted 12R with careful shopping centre takeoff.

Thats a lot of leverage, on a cast part, in a way that the part was never intended to experience. Still a bummer. While swingarms are expensive, from what I recall, they are not as bad as I expected.

Glad you are OK!

Thanks. More of a pride issue than anything.
Someone else you can rearrange but when you do it its just frustrating as hell.

+1 on the larger pic

Question what happened to the oil?

I was worried about that too. The oil tank is only on the front section of the swingarm.

I would like to have found that out via a drawing but there you go.
