That's correct, I think they are about £650.

What a fantastic looking beast :)
Does the swingarm brace (I assume that's what it is) serve any ACTUAL function or just basically for looks ?!
I was wondering the same
As far as I know, they stiffen the back end up (if it needs it) & helps overcome the 'wallowy' feeling you can get going round corners & through the twisties whilst heavily loaded (2 up or lots of travel gear). Bit of expensive bling I reckon, aaannndd, lower ground clearance - no good for us Mike!
Stoli has one, maybe he'll read this & fire his experience in.

unreal bike, everyone is jealous, we all want 1550 deep down. posted last week, next to a turbo at lights, 1700 etched into billet. not sure ive seen those power specs posted. must be amazing. id have to polish cam ends and fins if i owned yours. just me. love it.
Cheers all, sorry I've been off the forum for a while! The swinging arm as said stiffens up the frame and reduces that wollowy feel as some people mention. I can't personally give any input as the bike was as is when I bought it and so far I'm very pleased with it, it's beast! :)
Lovely bike :)

Yes yes Kiwi.. i have one on mine... as i like to be stiffened up, especially as I'm considered a "2 up" - in that being a bit rotund i may as well have as much bracing as possible !!!
as far as i know you have your existing Swing Arm braced. Mechamex will do it for you i think. mine was already on but i suppose a good ole Google will bring info !!!
