BST in the House, Part II
BST just put this up on their website, they have hired a new designer who has evidently had some BMW experience, CF hard parts anyone?

I have to admit thats beautiful looking stuff.
I remember about 4 years ago that a german company was making them and they had a problem cracking. But they were using old tech in laying the glass. Todays CF is so much stronger.

The stuff looks really Cool,
I seen a program about the next X fighter plane, Boeing was in the fight they were making a Delta wing out of Carbon Fiber all the carbon fiber layers had epoxy already impregnated in the Fabric no mess with mixing epoxy etc just a Vacuum Bag and Heat did the trick! I wonder where you could buy the Material looks easy to work with. When I ask about the BST A-Arm their was no thru- hole for the pivot joint, Am I missing something here ?

The CF is as strong as it ever was, Jeff... the resins and the manufacturing technology has changed...
Tom, they probably have a setting for a bot-in setup on the A-Arm... would work just as well, looks cleaner.

'carbon fiber layers had epoxy already impregnated in the Fabric'
EZ, it's called 'pre-preg'. the CF prepreg for the 787 is made by a company called Toray Composites and they have a large plant next to the Fredricksburg WA boeing plant. I know someone there; when I asked about buying some 'that fell off the truck' he laughed hysterically. Seems there's a real shortage of the stuff and they need every sq.in. they can crank out.

The pictures of these parts came right off the website, on the page I linked in the first post. These parts are probably some of the design engineers "portfolio" from previous projects, but there must be molds somewhere! If anybody is interested in purchasing them, I suggest you contact BST directly. Do I hear "group buy"?

I think the better question is, how can you afford NOT to put a lighter, stronger A-arm and swingarm on your bike?
