looks like a bad case of auto spelling correct.

Using my Captain Planet decoder ring I get this:

"Has anyone switched to a 240 Wheel and Swing arm? I'm considering this as I would like to change the look of 2003 bike. thx"

I've only seen 1 bike posted that did something like this. 99% of people just don't follow through on putting a $4-6K mod on a bike worth aprox $2k.

The $4k version uses a single chain setup so the rear wheel is offset to the right by a couple of inches. This is the one that I've seen posted here.

The $6k version uses a secondary drive shaft on the swingarm allowing for a dual chain offset setup so the wheel can be centered (the right way to do it in my opinion).

If you really want to do it, just do a search for anyone making custom swingarms for the busa or GSXR for the 240+ wheels and contact them. It should be fairly simple for them to convert for putting one of those arms on a Kat.

Mcintosh swingarms.
Like kreylyn said, keep the wheel centered for sure.Bet the bike in the link rides real funky with the wheel offset so much.
Jackshaft style swingarm is what you're looking for.
Not cheap but what is.
