Title: New from BST

I worked with Blackstone Tek to develop the magnificent CF wheels for the Triumph Rocket 3. Now BST is pushing the carbon fiber envelope into CF swingarms. Check this beauty coming from BST:

That single-sided swingarm & hugger fits a certain model Ducati, not a Rocket3. Gary @ BST will produce a CF swingarm for the Rocket3, but I have to guarantee 20 buyers to start the engineering & production. So far we only have 10 "takers", and it could be a very long time in this economy before we get 20.  :-(

You will see the swingarm above in 2010 on high dollar racing Ducs.

It's a work of art for sure. I hope you get a chance to post a Rocket 3 swingarm in the future if they make one.
