Thanks for the comments you have been reading my mind again.... the swingarm as you say is no longer going to have to take forces generated by going round bends but it will need to take some punishment from launching off the line with a sticky slick . The tyre growth is an unknown at this stage but what i can say is the side walls are really soft so if you were running a low pressure it could grow some, ultimatly if I can get some form of gusset back in the corners and in no way comprimise the tyre I will, even if its considered a bit belt and braces.
With the wheels not yet ready or tyre mounted this may have to wait its turn to make a informed assesment. I am hoping to get back to the rebuild of the swingarm Saturday so we could be a step closer to finding out.
Also been speaking to RM on beefing up the swingarm frame location similar to what he did on his Dakar bike - the jury is out on this one at present.
P.S no idea what's gone wrong with the photos of the packing box for the fairing
