Fitting yzf750 swingarm ?

Post by devonnick » Wed Nov 02, 2016 4:51 pm

Hi im sure this has been covered already I have the chance to get a yzf swingarm and was wondering if it would fit with the extended r6 shock I already have and i want to run standard wheel...will it jack the rear up as with the R1 front end it is already low at the front...any help would be great thanks.

Save yourself time and money... shock wont fit unless swing arm is modified, axle size is different too. Go to someone who will simply brace the std swing arm if you want the bling look and it will work out a lot cheaper for you. :wink:

The biggest issue I had with my yzf750 rear swing arm was the upper reinforcer/bracing that gives the bling effect..,rubbed on the exhaust end cans.
Otherwise the ride height will be similar to OEM.
And you might know that you can change the pivot link lengths anyway.
I've heard a few suggestions to the shorter R1 fronts as too.
