Hi

I have a SV 99 and I want to change the swingarm. In this moment I have installed a GSXR 750 rear wheel. I´d like to know which is the swingarm more easy to mount, GSXR, R1, Kawa...etc

Please, tell me your anything

TKSSSSS

TL709 did the VFR swing arm swap but I'm sure hours of maching when into that. I'm thinking he should have just gotten a GSXR, he's got some mad 180 rear tire envy goin on there.

I have talk with TWF and they say that they dont have any kit for GSXR swingarm :( only for the rear wheel.
Yep, that's what people were talking about. The GSXR swingarms are prety different, they'd need cut and welded. One of the guys on oldschoolsuzuki reckons an RGV banana arm would fit, but he never actually tried it and I've never found one.

my sv has a zx swingarm on it. though like basically any swingarm conversion it took a ton of fabricating, especially with that damn exhaust pipe pushing the shock to the side. ours had the brace that connects the two legs of the swingarm cut out then a completly new one was cut and fabed to fit then welded in :thumbsup: if youve go the 180 in there already the I say leave it. the fastest guy I know on an sv, and basically the fastest in the country (though there are exceptions) uses a stock sv swing arms with his 180 after market wheels, they fit perfectly in the swingarm, and the swingarm flex matches the overly stiff frame very well.
