900rr or 954rr swing arm?
Is this Craig's List swing arm a good donor for a VTR brace mod?
It looks to me as if it is from a CBR900rr.
The seller identifies it as :
CBR 929 Swing arm and wheel W/brakes
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/mpo/5040132975.html
I would like to do the swing arm brace mod some day.
Would it be an advantage to have the whole assembly (wheel caliper etc) as he is selling?

What model does this look like?

Hmm. working on the image.
Well here is a link to the ad:
PARTS! PARTS! PARTS!
If I do this mod later, is it an advantage to have the whole assembly as he is selling?

BUT that is not a 929 swing arm from what i can see in the pic.
And it does look like the 900rr swing arm I bought and used for my brace mod.

I agree that that looks like a 900RR swingarm, but I think it is the later year version with the twin legs or twin spars rather than the single leg version most use. See Eric's brace thread here for more info:

I'm going to use the twin leg version myself. Jack Flash used the twin leg and has a thread on here about it.
The 900rr wheel is a bolt-on if you intend to go 6-spoke.

Thank you for taking a look at it and commenting.
Yes, it could be junk,(CL is buyer beware, right) but it looked like a brace donor. Not sure if I will ever want the wheel though. Unless I want the "more spokes" look. But that would depend on what I end up with on the front I suppose.

Thank you much. I may be calling upon you for that.
I should hold off on this since I already have some front end parts on the way which should keep me "mod" occupied for a while.

I actually have one ready as well to compliment the Ohlins I had put on early April and was going to ask you where you had yours done, hoped it was semi local to LA

Denial: ...also used for a psychological defense mechanism postulated by psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, in which a person is faced with a fact that is too uncomfortable to accept and rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence.[1][2][3]
Yeah no kidding! Why am I doing this? It takes time away from productive things and will never pay $ returns. I'm going to quit today........Nah.

Not sure why anyone would purposely make the SH wheelbase LOOONGER and add to the rear suspension unsprung weight ..but I guess to each his own. for some looks are more important ride, performance and improving both I guess.
For those types this is a awesome option.. Brace AND stretched AND you get better adjusters...
