Hi everyone. I'm looking for some answers in the matter of swingarms, could i fit this one in my current bike?
Yamaha yzf-r1 - 01
-Swingarm Length - 640 mm
-Swingarm Pivot Width - 255 mm
-Rear wheel opening - 250 mm
-Swingarm Pivot Bolt - 20 mm/dia
-Wheel Axle Bolt - 28 mm/dia
My bike:
-Swingarm Length - 650 mm
-Swingarm Pivot Width - 235 mm
-Rear wheel opening - 225 mm
-Swingarm Pivot Bolt - 15 mm/dia
-Wheel Axle Bolt - 17 mm/dia
My thinking:
~Same lenght, pivothole could be drilled bigger aswell. I know i can trim down 5mm from each side inside the existing frame, that leaves 5mm to be trimmed from the swingarm. Do you guys think it will be doable or are the bearings in the way? I have dogbones and suspension. Feel free to link any build that are similair since i've tried searching for them but cant seem so find anything. I know chain is a concern but i guess this guy did it (http://www.customfighters.com/forums...t=37084&page=3) so why cant i.
