Wow, I'm not really racer savvy, but is it common for the swingarm to bend downward like that prototype does. I wonder if it has anything to do with the supposed error regarding engine orientation.:confused:

I don't think it actually bends down, but I could be wrong. It may just be the angle of the pic.

In the first pic of the swing arm look at the lower part of the arm, it look flat/straight. On the top part there is a high point about where the linkage attaches to it. I think that is what gives it the illusion of it bending down in the second pic.

I'm diggin that graphix kit! It is sweet ***!

Eichner is a great rider but I'd like to see him race in a few more nationals to see how he would do then. He races that WORCS series which is mostly in Cali right? He kills everyone there but this last season he came to Oklahoma to CooperLand MX RaceWay for the final round and got beat by almost one minute by local GNC pro Johnny Hale. Eichner and Hale did murder everyone else though in the pro class. I'm not downing Eichner by far but I just think he'd meet a lil' more competition at the GNC nationals.

He did do alright at Glen Helen Raceway though, 1st round of the GNC Nats soooo, i dont know!

Here is the same bike at the race in Austin TX lst month.
