Personaly TF I'd go for some AP Racing front calipers, they look super cool and will also put your mind at rest ... just an idea ....

I wouldnt know an 05 999 swingarm from one on a Blade .....

If you're going to keep it a while mate I'd consider things in this order, bearing in mind that I didn't and went straight into spending money in the engine on the 996 but if I had my time again I'd do this ...

- Suspension tailored for you
- Riding instruction (to get the most out of it)
- Exhaust (to hear the lovely sounds :D )
- Brakes
- Engine
- Engine
- Engine
- Engine

:D

With non-performing bling dispersed equally throughout those options until your wallet bursts!

Yeah, they do :D:D

swinger around £1000

modify exaust to clear new swinger , (if termis fitted) £200 ish

hack down and repaint rh fairing to clear swinger/ exaust (£ priceless)

looks better , yes

any performance gains , non :D

Just an idea TF, how about having the original swing arm powdercoated in black?
I was going to do that but sold the 749 and brought a S4r instead :D

Twinfan....recent posts would suggest you are back on the road at long last.... I may have missed it...what was the outcome of your experience?

OK, OK you've convinced me. I won't bother. I quite like the look of the standard swingarm to be honest, and I agree there are better things to spend cash on.


:lol: Love that TP! I've got the open clutch cover, rearsets, carbon exhaust heat shield and custom paint job all sorted at the moment :D


Suspension is great as it is to be honest. Standard settings on my 749S really seem to suit me. I'll leave them as they are until I feel otherwise.

Riding instruction is something I keep meaning to do. The Ron Haslam Race School is on my list.

Exhaust is sorted - assymetric Termis are on their way :D

Brakes - I'll see how my new standard stuff fares, then take it from there.

Engine - serviced as needed is great for me. I don't need any more power.

Looks like it's bling all the way then!!

I'd suggest carbon, billet and titanium as the dressage of choice :D

Be interested to know who did the "custom paint job"

I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you ;)
