      ep87 - Yes, that is one of Krey's widened swingarms. I originally mounted it on my 93 600, but it looked a little stretched, so now I am going to modify my 600 swingarm to accept the 5.5" rim.

      ep87 & Wild-Bill - Here is the list of parts I am currently using. An RF600 axle (Bandit 600 is the same), RF600 sprocket side spacer (twice as thick as Katana), RF600 caliper side spacer and a Bandit caliper bracket. I am still using the Katana caliper, but a 240mm GSXR brake rotor. Also the torque arm for the caliper has been modified to clear the tire. There are two types of RF600 caliper brackets. One uses the torque arm and the other braces itself inside the swingarm and has no torque arm. I am going to replace the Bandit caliper bracket with an RF unit once I can find one.

      Thanks Irish!!

          Thank you sir. looks like I should PM Krey soon and see if he's still doing the arms. Bought a set of Busa USD forks last night, need to start getting the stuff for the rear stock piled. Wifes going to kill me.

              My 750 is an '89. No it will not fit right on. Read my original post about moving my modified swingarm to this bike. Also my post right above yours about using one of Krey's modified swingarms.


              Thanks Mammut!
