one from our friend in germany per chance ? thats the ticket mate. MS production is the proper stuff to buy. the carbon weave all goes in the same direction no matter what part / panel you buy and always lines up.

Yeah it is Germany! Missed a set of ms carbon air tubes last week too!

I've been very restrained so far just the carbon clutch cover!

Paul talk to me about rental sprocket carriers!

I've just ordered standard size renthal front and back and the carrier!

But heard the renthal carriers mash up the cush drive also the Cush drive pops out if you don't drill and tap them!

You have renthal on yours, any probs??

erm i did, then i went back to standard after the cush drive rubbers backed out and left me with a fine alloy powder on the rear of the arm and hub. it slowly grinds the hub teeth away. genuine stuff has its moments too but does last quite a while.
916 and 748 go down one at the front or up two on the rear, 996 has enough welly to pull the OE gearing just fine.
