750 SRAD Swingarm; 750 Slabby frame?

[Dezza]

Anyone tried a 750 SRAD swingarm in a slabby frame? If so, are there any pitfalls to be aware of? These look like a super-trick (relatively) looking swinger for peanuts so is there a catch somewhere?

Busa arm is very, very similar to an Srad arm. Somebody might have tried a Busa arm instead.

i think the main ball ache is the suspension leverage systems interchange conundrum

Trying to jam a 600 srad one in my slingy with a k6 shock but I reckon it's going to need a relocation bracket.

Ok, so the two bikes' suspension linkages work differently, meaning a conversion of one to the other is necessary?

I know whatever pivot knuckle you use will have to be cut down from 2 needle bearings to 1 to fit stock frame mount. The pic is one off of a 89-92 Gsxr which had 2.

Not a srad swinger but this wasn't too difficult, 95 750w. I think the srad one will be challenging

Yep, the 750W non-banana version is the one, but it seems like they are rocking horse shit to get.

@Thestighas (from memory) a K-series GSXR600 swingarm in his slabby.

Interesting - just been looking at the Y, early wc K units..... but I see that one is from an early K, i.e. 1st slingshot short stroke model 1988
