The search funtion works really well on our new board (just tried it for the first time myself!).  It's been tried and apparently doesn't work.  I'm not saying it can't be done but if turbofb can't do it, it's probably more work than it's worth.

Nope.
Bought one for cheap to try it,but the shock linkage is offset heavily to the left to allow for exhaust pipe clearance on the right.I dont see how it could ever be made to work without severe difficulty.There are plenty of Gixxer swingarms that are better,stiffer and easier to fit up.
I only waited 15 years, to buy a B4!!
