Re: WHAT SWINGARM? 400 Frame / YZF Motor
Too bad it's 2" longer... I think the YZF is 1/2" longer, but I can cut that off the swinger.

YZF600R swingarm is 1/2 longer. i would just deal with it and be done. 1/2" is nothing to worry about. 2-3" longer scares me, reason i stayed with the yzf one.

With all that extra welding on the GXSR swingarm, it probably weighs the same as the YZF swingarm anyway... plus, I get to keep the handling characteristics of the FZR400.

Re: WHAT SWINGARM? 400 Frame / YZF Motor
it will weight more. the yzf is very think steel...the alumium ones are thick and heavy. my R1 swingarm weighted more then my YZF one. its really a waist of time money and weight to do anything else. only one i would of liked to look into more was a 97-00 gsxr 600 one because the srad wheel base is super short and i bet it as long as a fzr/yzf swingarm.

Re: WHAT SWINGARM? 400 Frame / YZF Motor
