r6 to genesis swingarm swap

Post by macthenoo »

Hi all,

has anyone tried to fit an R6 swingarm to an FZR1000 genesis?

If so, was it worth it and how hard was it to do?

thanks,

Mac.

i think we need to find the dimensions and go from there, see how far off they are, if at all, and find a good machinist.

all this to use an ebay bargain!!! :duh:

what year genny and ill get u measurements, i put an 02 r6 swinger on a 600 but took a couple solid hrs of grinding on the frame and a lil on one side of the swingarm so I'm sure it could be done. You would need the r6 rear wheel, axle, and spacers. Then you also have sprocket offset to consider too
