Swingarm

[stualdino]

Now then anybody any idea if a R1 swingarm will fit direct to a gen1 or any other for that matter.

Nope been there done that

[solorider]

i dont know if it would fit but the yzf750 uses the same pivot bolt and spacer so that would make the dimensions similar

[devilsyam]

What one have you tried fitting and what were the problems? I have been  thinking about an '06 R1 swingarm for a while now.
When I put a ZX10R swingarm in my ZX7R it was fairly straight forward as Kawasaki keep similar dimensions for wheel offsets, shock mounts etc. Yamaha not so??

[devilsyam]

top shock mount all wrong bottom mount is a knuckle not a fork so thats wrong off sets are fine use fazer carrier r1 wheel and caliper
to much work and i diddnt want to weld the frame
whoosh did it

Christ !!!!   that would be nice to pop down the shops at Knowle west with a mad max sawn off shotgun

[devilsyam]

if ya give whoosh 3.5k you can have it complete with turbo



and knowle west sucks, robbin bastids alway come over here theiving to feed there habits

Those USD forks must be a complete waste of time and money, cos with a short wheelbase like that the front wheel's never gonna be on the ground! Nuts!
