Hi every body, I hope all is well.
After much searching I came across http://katriders.com/forums/viewtopi...ingarm&start=0
This rear end conversion really sat well with me, and thus I began searching for R1 parts which I could use to swap onto the Kat in the winter.
After searching the forums I came across a comment about using the r1 rear wheel over say the bussa wheel due to the fact that it was much lighter. Then I began speaking with my mechanic in regards to possibly swapping out the kat swing arm and implanting the r1 swing arm complete with rim and brake caliper. After shooting the idea around the conclusion was that it might be easier to flab the r1 rear swing arm to fit then to mod the stocker to except the new rim.That and the fact that the r1 swing arm looks more esthetically pleasing then the stocker was also a selling point.
My question is directed to those whom have made swing arm swaps like the rf900 and so on. I would like positive comments with real life issues and dilemmas when attempting a swap.
What problems will I and my mechanic run into while working on the kat.
Thank you for the space and for your replies. I'm looking forward to the project and your help is greatly appreciated.
