Theres only a $5 difference between the 180 and 190 is the reason I ask. I know the rim can handle the 190.CrazyIvan wrote:, i'm an idiot... yeah use a 180 if you are using the r6 wheel, 190 is too big and it gives the tire a wrong curve

Re: 2002 R6 Swingarm Swap
That tire in your avatar looks huge, its just the way it was taken I guess. I like it. very nice pics from bike night, makes me want a custom swinger with a 340.
I couldn't afford it.

Re: 2002 R6 Swingarm Swap
i think the exposed belt driven primary look much better than the enclosed chain driven one on the choppers what do you guys think

Re: 2002 R6 Swingarm Swap
Ivan, how well does the rear end ride with the shock at that angle? I ask because i have done almost exactly the same thing, minus the welding part for my upper mount, and my shock angles back a bit like yours. I havent gotten the back end parts all together yet, but i was a little worried about the back being tight or harsh to ride. just curious, nice job btw.
I did that.

Re: 2002 R6 Swingarm Swap
Ivan, I know your not on much but I want to see if you could make me the upper shock mount and then I could weld it on myself. Im going to go with the exact setup as you. Thanks! PM sent.
