YZF600 or R6?

The YZF600 is the same for all years. There have been a few R6 swingarm swaps done, but I don't recall a write up for the specific year you are reffering to into a 600 frame. Take a look at 95FZR600's write up for the '99-'02 swingarm. BMiller is working on a '05 swingarm right now but it is going into a 400 frame. However, we did find out that the two swingarms have the same pivot width so the process should be very similar.

Here is a link to Mark's swap. viewtopic.php?f=30&t=1173

That's an R6 swinger. Click here. From what i remember they are the same at the pivot point.

The pivot area is 10". I did the 99-02 R6 swing arm swap. Its pivot area is also about 10". You will be dealing with exactly the same as me. I have a thread on it. If you have any questions let me know.

Just grinding. Not a bad swap to complete. You can do it in a couple days if you had all the parts and stayed on it all day. You will need a shock mount, let me know I can make it for you.

That's funny how Spyder's swinger swap is on like 10 other sites and not ours..We could use that as an appendix to Marks swap.

Not really. Its almost the same dimensions between the 99-02 and the 03-05 R6. Same amount of grinding and parts.

i dont like the 03-05 r6 swingarm on the fzr, i do like the 99-02 on there or the yzf600r one, zx7r looks good also.
