• 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.
