Magnum 2 question

#1 PostAuthor: Is Vic There » Fri Oct 11, 2013 11:13 am

Can anyone tell me what the combined weight would be for a frame and swing arm, also the approximate dimensions of just the frame and arm.

Does not have to be to the nearest gram!

And yes I have emailed Harris and the have said "We do not have a frame and swingarm here to weight" thought they might know this as to me it would be one of the selling points!

Thanks in advance :D

Sorry lads,

Harris did get back to me so these are the genuine numbers, big thanks to Mark Pateman at Harris for going out of his way, well done Mark.

Swinging arm is 30 x 40 x 60cm and weighs 4.3kg
Frame is 60 x 70 x 130cm and weighs 14kg

Hope this helps

Funnily enough, a mate had a Rickman Moly chrome frame in his boot.
We lifted it out for inspection and believe me, It was heavier than a z1 frame.
I was surprised.
