After the fire?

Does anyone know what the story is with swing-arms and the Triumph factory fire?

I seem to remember reading that, after the huge factory fire back in '02, triumph had a real problem with swing-arms. I dont know the details but IIRC the fire disrupted production of one type of swing-arm (single sided or double sided, 955i or 600) which meant that the following year's bikes were a little bit odd. Triumph were gearing up for the launch of the 600 Datytona, also had the 955i Daytona which, later that year, came with double sided or single sided swing arm. Double sided the same component as the 600?

Does anyone know what the real story was?
