 ==== 99-02 R6 SWING ARM SWAP ====
+[[http://fzronline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=1173]]
+  * In this swap I removed the OEM swing arm and installed the R6 swing arm.
+  * In order to get the R6 swinger in there I had to remove quite a bit of metal
+from the frame sides as shown below. I call them the nubs because they are
+hardened steel bushings welded from the outside. I then trimmed them down
+to fit the new swinger in place. You can see from the pics that from grinding
+I removed some of the hollow part of the frame therefore filling it in with
+weld and some jb-weld and then sanding down and painting for rust prevention.
+  * I also had to cut a little from the actual swing arm to. You can see in the pic
+how much was cut. 1/4 inch I believe.
+  * Once i was able to get the swinger to slide in I had to drill out the pivot
+bolt hole to allow for the R6 beefed up pivot bolt to fit in place.
+  * I then installed the zx6r front sprocket for alignment issues and installed
+a small bolt to keep it from backing out. That was MSZILVES idea from his YZF600
+swing arm swap. Thanks Mark!
+  * I had to fab up a new upper shock mount to fit the R6 shock. Once mounted I then
+had to purchase a set of triangle lowering links because the rear end sat up to high
+and when the kick stand was down it wanted to tip over. I have seen now they are selling
+the turnbuckle style which makes for an easier lowering and no tire removal.
+  * A small bracket was made for the master cylinder and brake switch and was also
+spaced out for clearance and alignment issues.
+  * Everything turned out well and I would rate this mod or swap an 8 out of 10
+**1 being less difficult** and **10 being most difficult.**
