R6 Swinger (04)

This dutch guy mounted a R1 '04 swingarm on his TRX. He had a lot of problems to fit it in the bike.

Lookin good though, love the BOS pipe!

A `04-`05 R6 swingarm is about 590mm long ( spindle to spindle) I think I have one and a rear wheel spindle if your interested?

Just measured mine
centre of pivot bolt to centre of wheel slot 580mm
side to side of arm at pivot 240mm
pivot bolt 24mm

If someone could measure standard trx arm length it could be a goer

Hmmm looks WAAAY shorter than the one in Quan-Times bike to me but of course it`s a `later` 04 R1 swingarm too. That BOS exhaust, is it a twin can set up or just one? If it`s a single can only it`s going to be ferkin loud for sure if it`s just an absorption type race can.

Not so good sound quality.

Hmmm, sounds quite nice actually.
The large hole in the front of the air filter housing looks a tad brutal , can be seen best at 00:45.
I have found the link to the full build here:

http://www.motor-forum.nl/forum/list_me ... TRX-1.html

(Scroll down to the bottom of each page then click on the next page in the drop down menu there is 17 in total)

I noticed Baasm posted images of that lovely RSV front and rear suspensioned TRX, another member has posted an image of NWS`s bike, plus the Spondon alloy framed carbon bodyworked beauty too. I also see that Yellowrider was actually aiming to build the TRX to look like one from a mock-up picture in Super Streetbike magazine, he`s pretty close to it.
There`s some great work gone into it for sure, oh and the pretty little SZR660 he`s built is VERY nice too!

R1 swingarm shortened to stock TRX spec's.



Dont pay much attention to that site, WAY too much has changed on my bike to even talk about.

I will however throw this up as a teaser

TRX swinger is 520-530mm. That might be a deal breaker for me. Hmm off to look for other options.

[Quan-Time]

ANYTHING fits.. how much effort do you want to put into it to make it fit ? Thats the problem.

[devlin]

Yeah I know. Just not sure if I could be bothered with modifying the swingarm. I think a Triumph Tiger 1050 swinger is closer in length and has similar styling. The 675's swinger is about the same length as the R6. I would rather get the trellis swingarm that I modelled up a while back than do a major mod on an existing.

Not a deal breaker..just a little bit more hassle
Will look into shortening the arm

[Stankflapper]

Find a complete R6 rolling chassis and jam the TRX engine into it, sounds easier..

[devlin]

Where's the challenge in that? Oh yeah, being laughed for ahving the slowest R6 in teh world. LOL.

[Gix]

New direction now....
managed to bag a bargain RSVR/Tuono swinger.
Length is as per TRX and with minor mods should be easy
Also got an 09 R6 radial front end to stick on
