However, it is nice to see the Cryboys playing up to their hype for a change.

Yea Bill, for the type of caliper bracket you have, the torque arm anchored to the swing arm is proper.
It's the fancy schmancy pivioting/floating GSXR caliper arms that get the torque arm anchored to the frame...

I did the same as you, anchored the torque arm to the swing arm, except my caliper hangs below the axle....

Thanks Eric!  Those picts were taken on a cloudy day....You should see it in the summer desert sun.
I need some sort of fancy filter on the lens of my camera. Cheers!

Just shoot it with a piece of metal screen at the front of the lens.  Poor man's star filter.

I assume it will work with the new digicams, it always worked great with 35mm.
