I think this bike has an fzr 1000 swingarm if i remember right, and r1 forks, can anyone confirm?

Ive seen other pics of this bike on the Archives. Its a GSXR 600 swingarm on a FZR400 frame. Check with BMiller on that swap. He has sold a few of those swingarms and has referenced this bike before. And those arent R1 forks. Looks like GSXR also.

Hi,
If they are GSXR forks then it would double the value of the bike, the last set i was looking at for another project went for 620UKP which considering i got a set of Ducatti USD forks for under 100 is a tad daft in my book.
I will sit that one out till the price drops, besides my emulators work just fine with the new linear springs

The fork are aftermarket Ohlins racing forks. If they came from a doner bike then it was probably the '96 R1LE as it came with a bunch of goodies and the forks were an option I think.
Yes, that is a Single Sided Swingarm FZR600 that I built.

Something is lurking, waiting, wanting to be built......It calls to me from the darkness....
