Dezza Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 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? Quote Link to comment
nopokewithoutsmoke Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Busa arm is very, very similar to an Srad arm. Somebody might have tried a Busa arm instead. Quote Link to comment
vizman Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 i think the main ball ache is the suspension leverage systems interchange conundrum Quote Link to comment
Swarf Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment

mikeyd Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 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. 1 Quote Link to comment
george 1100 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Not a srad swinger but this wasn't too difficult, 95 750w. I think the srad one will be challenging Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 Yep, the 750W non-banana version is the one, but it seems like they are rocking horse shit to get. 1 Quote Link to comment

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 Edited January 4, 2019 by Dezza Quote Link to comment
