any swingarm from another bike is going to require mods and/or custom machined parts/spacers. What do you mean by "a lot".

ok... i'll go first...

search and ye shall find brother!!!

and no... it wont bolt right up... any swap is going to be a hack job... its usually alot easier to mod the stock one


EDIT... damn krey.. beat me to it

there are a few different options you have for exstensions...

krey makes them, and very well i might add, for around 200-800 dollars, depending on what you want and which parts you buy yourself...


i also found a bolt on kit...

but i know krey is talking to his machinist to see if he can get one made up... and i would wait to see if he could, cuz i would trust buying one from him ALOT more then just some dude off the net

i found the post i was talking about. i think im going to order the extensions. i just wanna figure out if i put the extensions on if i can fit a gsxr wheel.

Not without custom spacers or modifying those extensions for a larger axle.... GSXR wheels have 20+mm axles, Kat and those extensions have 17mm. It's been posted he won't change them.

You could get them changed by another machinest of course.

yeh thats what i figured i would do. just get it made 3mm bigger and i thaught it would fit after that.

That will resolve the axle size issue. The next step would be to resolve the width issue for the hub. You probably can spread the swingarm a little bit to do that. Need about 10" between inside to inside at the axle.

After that, just get a wheel, sprocket carrier, axle, spacers, chain adjusters, and caliper bracket.

you can have a machinist mill it out an extra 3mm... you just wanna be careful with those adjusters tho, especially since they're aluminum, that you dont mill them too thin and stretch them out


krey....

any word from your machinist yet?

[600katana96]

Will be a couple weeks before I know anything, and look into that further.
