rsv swingarm

actually its only the front end that I need to get to fit as I am running the aprilia rear wheel.

still sounds like a lot of work. I have the parts, so I will be offering up and seeing just how bad the job is, then I will either do that or go with a YZF one.

front end i have had the trx stem pressed into the rsv yoke, so that all calipers and forks would fit. doing mine with a top yoke conversion though, clutch cable seems ok but may turn out to be a tad short when i get to ride it. i've bodged the trx pull push throttle cables but had to shorten them (for routing i've done)and have had to have some braided lines made up for brakes. im hoping the sensor i have on the rsv brake hanger for the speedo works ok, obviously if you do wheel only you'll lose the speedo

A TDM clutch cable could be the answer with a top yoke conversion

A quick scan and some rusty German skills tells me he removed 7mm from the right side of the swinger to fit into the frame, couldn't take from the left side . Then move the sprocket 4 mm outwards by 'turning' it. I am not sure if he just meant flipped over, I think so. So far so good but then the alignment of the shock mountings was an issue - the fix he is keeping "secret"!

"turning it" i think is itÂ´s made on a lathe....

when i say front end I meant the front end of the swingarm, although we are fitting the mille ohlins front end too.

I think an easier job is going to be to fit the mille rear wheel in the YZF swingarm that we have.

I agree - is there any advantage other than it would look really trick? If not it's a "coz I can" job and while I admire the bravery and engineering skill, presonally I couldn't justify the efort it would take. But that is just me - do whatever floats your boat

Well looks like we will indeed be going the rsv swingarm route. mainly because we are using the aprilia rear wheel and the spindle is slightly thinner that the thunderace/yzf options we have.

I have more of a handle of what is involved now. I will post any progress.

sorry just seen this.
We are doing it because its the lesser of two evils.We are fitting the Aprilia OZ wheels, and they have a rear axle size that doesnt fit any yamaha setup. We actually bought a thunderace setup to use but decided to persevere with the aprilia one. doing it this way we can port across the rear brake setup also. which again would be more work on the thunderace setup.
