j@mes Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 surely shorter swingarm more grip cause weights further on the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pa. Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 A shorter swing arm will give you a better turning circle. I doubt Caby would ever use the full lock as those boys just hop their bike around anyway. I expect he uses it as he prefers the overall balance. The older Sherco's are 35mm longer in the wheelbase than a Beta. I don't know about the other brands. Lower footpegs will improve your balance, just jump on an old TY and see how long you can balance for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemisavoy Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Anyone have an idea on price? I contacted my dealer and he was checking. He mentioned it could be as much as $2000 u.s. more over regular model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copemech Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 10mm short,5mm down,10mm back, may make a difference if you make a living hopping and doing pivot turns! For ME? I like the red spring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkp Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Anyone have an idea on price? I contacted my dealer and he was checking. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The local dealer here checked with RYP and says about $500 over the standard model. That would put it at just under $7K... if that's right its not bad for a 150 unit limited edition. I'm waiting for the next Cabestany model that has the gas tank as an integral part of the frame backbone and a linkless rear shock... Mikuni carb... kickstarter on the left... sigh...
