right i have been searching on here and have decided to try and compile as much of the info i can find and sort out a few questions i have.Condence the noncence if you like
I Have been quitley working away on ebay snaping up any thing going cheap that i need to do a yzf swin conversion.
Parts needed for the swap
Swingarm (got)
Wheel (got)
axel (need)
wheel spacers.(need)
dog bones and linkage(got)
shock (TRX will do????)
Brake carrier (mod TRX item????)
i am not sure about is the brake carrier. am i correct in thinking that the TRX one will not work as the axel on the yzf is bigger. and if this is the case can i oversize the hole on the trx item to do the job. or am i better off getting a yzf item.some one was doing this how did it work out???
Also can i use my trx shock on the conversion. or do i need to find a yzf shock to make it work properly???
the cush drives, sprocket carrier and caliper can be used of the trx
now i also have a subframe that i will be putting it all togeather on and then just sliping it in all complete,
to get to this stage is there any thing else i need to be thinking about.
I know there will be issues with aligning the chain and sprockets but every one seems to have slightly different issues when it comes to this. im thinking i will have to machine the sprocket carrier down or flip my sprocket over or somthing like. but those are heardles that i will jump when i get to them. at the moment my main concerns are
do i need any thing else other than what i have listed????
are there any other tricks i need to watch out for when fitting it all up (aside from the alignment issues)
I will do a full how to with photos once i get every thing i need.
I just dont want to start the job then figure out that i need somthing small befor i can finish it off.
can any one add to the list or add any concerns.

YZF rear axle is the same part as the TRX swingarm pivot bolt. I have one unless you took it.

Re: yzf750 swing arm
i did not realise it was the same. i dont think i did i got the sleve for the swingarm but not the bolt. i am planning on making another trip maybe this weekend. that paoddock stand breaks down in to bits right, is it able to be straped down.

Re: yzf750 swing arm
it breaks down, yes. I'm working on Sunday, so Saturday is your best (read only) option!
