Has anyone tried putting a cbr f2/f3 swingarm on a 3he fzr 600?
Does anyone know off the top of their heads what the difficulty would be?
I have a source with a nt650 swingarm modded for a cbr f2/f3 who would be willing to sell it to me fairly low with the hawk shock and mc brake/caliper. Just wondering if it would be easier to mod this swingarm to the fzr as opposed to starting with a fresh nt650 swingarm or vfr swinger.

Re: CBR f2 swingarm?
I have never heard of anyone using a F2 or F3 swingarm on an FZR. Those are pretty common wheels to install into a FZR400 or FZR600 swingarm.
I think CAD used a VFR swingarm, I think they are pretty close to the Hawk swingarms. I say buy it if you can get a good deal.

Re: Re: CBR f2 swingarm?
Yeah it is was VFR swinger. Double check the width. Make sure its not too wide. That will be your limiting factor because there is only so much you can grind the frame down.j200pruf wrote:I have never heard of anyone using a F2 or F3 swingarm on an FZR.

Yeah I checked his old posts, the pics from the swing arm write up arnt working anymore. I was just curious. Im just worried about buying it already modded for the cbr, and any more modification might screw the swingarm up..I was thinking of doing a single swinger like cad's since I'm already doing a Duc 748 front end like Target but with a single projector in the front.

Re: CBR f2 swingarm?
Awsome, I was thinking about targets frontend too.
I sold him that fairing. Lol.
