i cant figure that out, even after rotating and mirroring the photo. the CNC'd horseshoe piece is throwing me off.

Looking forward to seeing more. quality looking stuff.

A ti bolt and a ti washer with speedholes!

Speaking of lightweight...the curved thing..?... the 2 pull links look to bow around to shorten/lighten the mounting at the mainframe..?

I'll take one.

I can see it. The brushed steel on the right is the swingarm, the curved ally is the dog bone links, just out of shot at bottom left is where the two links pivot off each other, you can see the rounding of the shock mounting link in bottom left, where it goes around the pivot that's out of shot. So the shots from the bottom looking up and rotated, or taken as if the front wheel was in the air.
Very nice, very very nice.

thats a pretty interesting guess...especially from the limited view.

Wow!! This looks promising. The attention to detail is awesome! Those bolts and washers are so pimp. Very nice CNC work as well.
Can't wait to see the whole thing on wheels.

Awesome title on the post T, loved it! (And it reminded me about one hoody I've forgotten to ship... Will do soon :) )

I was asked for another sneak peek of the Superco DH proto in the "bmw" porn thread (eh....) and didn't want to further confuse things in there. Came in here to post an update but that...bird! in w00dys post is freaking me out so I gotta go.

You're all going to hate me for this but, I bribed Doc and Terry with some Welshcakes (biscuits) and they've sent me the exclusive finished prototype bike pics.

They'll be up on Dirt first thing Friday (tomorrow) morning GMT.

If they knew they would otherwise be stuck with only that torturous close-up sneak peek from several posts ago for another month or two had you not kept on us for the exclusive, I'm certain they would only love you more than they already do.
