Kat swinging arm options

[Nigkat]

Hi 

Been thinking about changing the swinging arm on my kat. Currently using a zrx1200 but fancy a bit of a change. Thinking about a Tl1000r arm. Want to keep twin shocks. Anyone used a tlr arm got dimensions and any advice. Or any other suggestions, not blandit or anything to plain. Cheers

Wouldn't the bracing on the arm get in the way for putting shock mounts on?

I've got a gsxr750wr swing arm in my kat, went straight in 

Also put a srad swingarm in my gsx1100f project and now put a gsxr1000 k1-3 swingarm in, went straight in the pivot points just need to make a sleeve for the pivot bearings to go down to the gsx spindle size 

Both I've changed to single shock

No. TL1000R arm is underbraced.

Thanks, yeah like the look of the underbraced tlr arm, looks nice and beefy. 

Anyone got 1 in a kat, pics?

Not in a KAt, but gs1000 is quite similar

Very nice, did it need any machining to fit?
