YZF rear hugger on a 3TJ swingarm?

Post by fzrbrandon »

Wondering if anyone might be able to grab pics of their YZF600 swingarm. If someone's got one NOT mounted to the bike, it would be great to get a top-down shot (along with some dimensions) Specifically, I'm curious as to where/how the hugger mounts as I'd like to see if I can adapt one to fit on a 3TJ swinger. Both rear ends run 4.5" x 17" rear wheels so I'm thinking the YZF piece might be a good candidate.

Thanks,
Brandon

The yzf swinger is wider, they use a 5" back wheel. I know a yzf wheel will barely fit in a 3tj swinger. I was thinking that maybe a hugger for a tz would work. http://www.airtech-streamlining.com/yam ... 96-97H.htm part at26.

Ok, I forgot to get pics but the yzf hugger would be a close fit. The mounts would have to be added to the arm as none of them match. But width and length are very close.
