im sure the thundercat uses a bigger wheel so unless on the furthest back setting on swingarm doubt it tbh

I have most of a tcat so how much work would it be to get the swing arm on it?

The cat fits a same width rear rim, 5".

I put a TRX 850 front rim with a 120/70 tyre and a 170/60 rear tyre, which is the actual size intended for 5" rims. It feels great.

The rims are both 17" and 5" wide. I just want to make sure the axle would fit and the hub is same width.

Can the rear calipers be used as an upgrade for the fazer or are they just as bad or major job to change?

Ok thanks. I'm trying the whole swing arm etc when I get round to it so I'll see what can and can't be done
