GSXR swingarm on a 06 Kat?

[harold003]

I have an 04 katana 600 and i was wanting to put a GSXR swing arm on it so i could put a wider rear tire on it.Is that at all possible?

[arsenic]

anythings possible, is it easy, not even a little bit.

[jeddi03]

its much easier to put a GSXR 750 or 1100 wheel on the rear. Just have to cut some spacers and have the time and patience.

[arsenic]

no it's not. That won't work the rim is too wide, you'll have to modify the swingarm.

[mreedohio]

if you want wider go with bandit 600 or post 98 wheels

[arsenic]

yeah a post rear wheel you can go with a 160, if 10mm isn't enough, buy another bike

I was tossing the idea around, and I think it is easier to get your kat's swingarm widened, then add a gsxr rim. trying to fit a different swingarm seem like a waste of time. a few people have had the swingarms widened or extended.

I'm pretty sure KatanaPR3 has a gsxr swingarm on his bike.

I installed a 5.5" rim from a 95 GSXR 750. It works well, and is not too wide.

That is why I had to order the spacer from you Arsenic. I cut the one that I originally had just a tad too short.

I have a 170 installed with no problems. The rim originally came from ebay with a 180 mounted and that cleared just fine.

This mod took me a few days and quite a bit of patience, but it works well and I cannot feel any change in handling.

you just have to use 93-95 gsxr 750 or 93-98 GSXR 1100 wheels.

oh and best thing about it no swingarm modification necessary

[arsenic]

sweet, well tell that to mreedohio, his shop told him 5.5" GSXR rims won't work. The shop he took his bike to is also full of ****tards

[mreedohio]

yes they are...wait til you here what they did when i picked up the bike today

[arsenic]

uuhhh, I wanna know IM me.

[loudnlow7484]

noooo, just make a thread.... I want to know, too!

[arsenic]

he did in Suzuki Katana Talk, I think you've replied. I've got a 04 GSXR 1000 swingarm if you wanna try some stuff.

[Rothman]

Always tryin to sell some stuff....
I like your angle.
