swingarm swap
« on: November 17, 2007, 01:58:04 PM »
Talking to people I found out the last of the oil cooled 1100's had a swingarm length of 555mm pivot bolt centre to spindle centre (fully extended) this is about 45mm shorter tham my 400 swingarm, I know from here the GK73 arm is a similar length...

I really can't afford to raise my bike at all (and wanted to keep the idea of longer dogbones just incase i need to drop the seat a bit) so anyone know of any allow arms around 600mm long?

Anyone know how long a 94 gsx1100f (katana in us) arm is? I may be able to get one very cheap. :grin:

thanks for your time and advice so far  :thanks:

cool. was just hoping someone may have tried... the swing arm should fit if it's long enough. Is 160 too much tyre for my rear rim? that's as big as I can go without surgery, yeah? I know some use it but I 'm not sure if they had different rims. :grin:

look for a older 1100 wheel or a rgv 250
