Anyone catagorically know which Version of the Cyclone box this is?

I know it's not the one which got recalled, as they were stamped on the cluster spindle.

Thanks :)

They are Joe, and the numbers on the bottom refer to when it was manufactured. I think all the info relating to dates of production are on here somewhere

My cyclone has been in for nearly a year now, 6500 miles done on it, no problems really, A tooth snapped off the first gear when it was on the stand! But to Deans credit he sent me a new one foc. Then he sent me a replacement cluster, even tho I told him mine was fine, after there were a few people having problems with theyrs. I never had any problems with mine and I went to avignon on it, where Rimini were quite keen to strip my engine for me and replace it there and then!!! I couldnt be bothered so just left it until I got one in the post. Glad to say I havent had any problems since the first gear incident which was in march this year. I would hate to go back to 4 gears now, as its such a pleasure to ride now.
