There's a 3TJ swingarm on your americaland ebay ... http://www.ebay.com/itm/FZR-400-RR-SP-A ... dd&vxp=mtr

It looks ex-race with no chain guard mount and no chain slipper on the arm

Thanks for the tip Evil....I picked it up for my project bike :thumbsup:. Kind of odd that there are no provisions for swingarm spools though. Does anybody know if all of the 3TJ swingarms are like that?

They're standard on the SP swingarm, the SP also has captive wheel spacers and quick change wheels. The SP arms have a ridge that the spacers sit on for more easy wheel changing.
The RR doesn't have the threads for swingarm "bobbins"

I'll probably drill & tap for "bobbins" just aft of where the machined section is welded to the swingarm.

As for the captive spacers and guides, I made my own set for the current swingarm, so I should be able to use them on the "new" swingarm.
