Hey there, do you have any more information on one of these swingarm swaps. I just did a 93 gsxr750 front end and a newer gsxr rear shock upgrade, now i want to do something about that swinger. Any help would be appreaciated, thanks -Riley

Ill let you know how my swap goes.  I think it is super easy if you use a gsxr rear wheel, but I want to keep my b4 wheel, so, Ill need to swap some bearings and make some spacers etc, Im also using an 06 gsxr shock... 

Im not sure what to do with the front end, Im thinking of an inverted fork, but want to retain the single disk and 110 tire.  Im really mostly trying to keep the weight down/upgrade suspension perf.

Will be using an 05 r6 front caliper with the stock front end for now...

Be sure I will post everything I learn, I have had a terrible time finding swap info...

Did you happen to weigh your old/new front end and wheel?

No, unfortunately i didn't compare the weights of the two front wheels but I am pretty sure there is a whole thread on here about different wheels and how much they weigh. I'll see if I can track it down for you.
