I've got a 92 GSXR swingarm and rear wheel. The swing arm measures up very close in the pivot area and looks workable for the shock mounting. It's about an inch shorter in arm length. The wheel that came in it is a 5.5 x 17 and had a 180 tire on it. I've got them both for sale if you want a winter project, I already have several (projects that is). Make me an offer.

i kno that a few ppl have tried this and they always seem to run into a problem with the subframe, and not having enough space to get free movement out of the swingarm with the gixxer swing arm... def do a search on it

member katanapr3 has an older gixxer arm on his bike with the gixxer rear wheel. try searching threads with his name on them and check out his garage...

Cyber Poet had an excellent write up on tires for the Kats .. search it out. Well worth the read. Yeah the nice wide 180/190 tires look sweet from behind, but after reading what he's posted, I think you'll change your mind.

Don't need a 180 tire for a bike that has 40-50 torque, except for the bling factor.
