Has anyone put a sv650 swingarm on a pre kat or do you know if it will work?

Sort of...

It's not easy...

[Breeze]

Sort of..mmm well...

The problem with hanging an Sv swinger is that the shock has an off set mount on the arm. On the SV the rear shock mounts to the riders left side of the frame. In order to use the SV swinger you'll have to do some fancy welding work and relocate the mounting slot on the Kat frame...

It's only fancy if you want to keep the center stand..
In fact I think you can just add brackets to the left (from the rear) using the old left bracket for the new location, right bracket. You may need a few spacers IIRC the offset is 1 1/4 inches. It is because the rear cylinder exhaust pipe.
Luckily I know people with connections and did just the opposite.
You also have to change the subframe, that means moving the pegs. IMO that is the real tricky part..
