[QUOTE="bmwhd, post: 636183, member: 271"] Or...they could simply go with a double sided swing arm like a certain other world class ST bike with a shaft drive... Seriously, ask yourself: how many times have you removed the rear wheel by the side of the road? Not patched a tire, actually removed the rear wheel? My current count is zero on the FJR. At home in the shop I can have the rear wheel off in under 5 min. Why do I need a single sided swing arm? Why even bother trying to solve the overly-complex set of forces at work in the Parlever at all BMW? Just send it the way of the Dodo bird. [/QUOTE]
