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

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??

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!
