3 on Ebay at the moment that I have seen
The one in the USA has everything with it, loop rocker, spindles, end plates, adjuster blocks, rear caliper, rear Master
There is another in Italy and then the one in the UK that has had an offer made on it

Just unpacked one and put it in the garage. The one from Italy appears to have all the bits but he wantsm a lot for it although he will haggle. Might be worth a try.

Soon as I can its going on the bike. Hopefully in time for Oulton. I am not sure its value for money in the weight reducing stakes.

It isn't just the weight... It is a swinging weight. My rear was much more stable after the switch (probably because the swingarm wasn't slowing the reaction of the rear suspension so much).

Mine weighed about that in first season. Think I knocked about 12-15kg off it by the end of the second season... Swingarm, fueltank, wheels and battery were the biggest savers (along with realizing I didn't need 12+ litres of fuel!!)
