I don't know the answer but I also don't know why anyone would think of reducing the rear contact patch!

Lovely contradiction there!

What does that mean? Got a problem with someone expressing their opinion?

I'd just like point out that's not my quote!

A bit defensive there, Stig! :lol
It takes all sorts. Having a few sensible Darrsi types curbing my insanity is a good thing. I wish more had been around before that insane trailer idea!
By the way - who wants to buy a towbar? :rollin :rollin
Re: Swingarm spacing? - ChristoT - 11-02-14
More good news!! Looks like I struck gold on that Bros: rough measurements poking around with calipers over lunch break have told me the swingarm width is about 235.25mm (not sure how accurate my measurements were) , and the wheel to centreline is roughly 115mm. Happy days.
EDIT: Butter fingers! I mean sprocket to wheel centreline. Still happy days.

Dear lord, can you at least put the right quote up to what you're responding to so I don't get pointless notifications saying I've been 'quoted'
Thankyou!
