Single side swingarm.

I think I may have stumble upon something really cool. At first glance the RC swing-arm looks to fit right onto a VTR, if anyone knows for sure let me know, if this is the case a company by the name of RAM http://www.ram.mc has a retrofit kit for a SSS for a RC51!

Re: Single side swingarm.

I thought I read somewhere that the swingarm of certain year VFR's would fit the SH.

It does, thou according to extensive information I collected in case I'd go for it myself (LOT of it from here - thanks to guys contributing) it requires quite a work on exhaust etc.
I think it makes much more sense to brace SHawk swingarm with brase sawn off CBR swingarm or (if you have money) buy Moriwaki swingarm...
VFR swingarm does look beatiful, but it does not provide any rigidity gain....IMHO.

Re: Single side swingarm.

why not to have all - rigindity, looks, eccentic adjusters, wheel removal aid?


And non-custom is only 420 GBP thou does not look just as cool...


custom version does look cool - in this case owner obviously did not bother with eccentics...
