Anything can be made to fit with slight modification. I have the R6 Swingarm and can mount the 99-02 R6 Wheel.

CaptainCanuck and Ragedigital both have pics of their finished Suzuki Rim Swaps at this thread...

I'm taking alot of pictures as I do mine, and I hope to write a write-up for the Wiki when I'm done. But it'll be a month or two until I'm done. :ermm:

He swapped his whole swingarm to the YZF600R Swinger. There's a writeup in the forum here somewhere, and there might even be one in the Wiki. When you go to the YZF swingarm, it look alot like ours but has a 17x5.5 rim on it as opposed to our stock 18x4.0 rim. The 5.5 came with a 160 section tire on it stock (I think), but I'm pretty sure PMF has a 180 on there now. my2cents
