750w 95 swingarm in 92 1100 slingshot frame


Panos

Recommended Posts

Hello everybody , i tried to fit the 95 swingarm to my 1100 92 slingshot frame and i came across some issues .

Slingshot linkage width at dogbones bearings is 94mm image.thumb.jpeg.2ec8432b5d7b0dbd8cb17dde72f1b040.jpeg 

750w swingarm dogbone bearings width is 84mmimage.thumb.jpeg.f9dcc40432b4e6422d4a83cc9d298470.jpeg 

Different bolt diameter too 14mm for slingshot and 12mm for 750w .

I also tried to fit a k6 shock i want to use  but it was too long for the slingshot linkage .

 

So i guess i need the 750w linkage and dogbones right ? 

Anybody here done the mod on a 92 1100 slingshot ?  i couldn't find much using search engine .

On a 1100 frame ?  Asking because 1100 has solid shock mount .

Yup, left over 1100 frame from a 7/11 project. Had to do a custom battery tray to clear the shock I ran as well, but not too hard as all modern batteries are smaller than what they came with stock. Used a more modern GSXR shock with a piggy back reservoir. Rode it for several years before tearing it down again, handled way better than the stock swing arm. Sorry I don't have any better photos of it, the frame is currently across town in storage.

I found this linkage but i am not sure if it is the correct one , it's a bit pricey so before i go ahead and buy it can anybody tell if it's the right one ?

When looking at parts diagrams online it looks like model p and model r/s (braced ) use the same linkage but i couldn't find part number for r/s model .image.thumb.png.231af37c44cab5c14ab7d01edf9b5dfe.pngimage.thumb.png.f35734d53c2b7deb1834b9e77b12c1fc.png

That looks like it's for the R/S braced swing arm. The banana swing arm linkage has the dog bones as one piece with bearings in the end. The braced swing arm dog bones just have a spacer and a bolt. At least that's how it looks in the parts diagrams I double checked. How much are they asking? I usually see them on Eblag for like $10 for the cushion lever, and $10 for the dog bones. Though I just looked on Eblag here in the states and there's not much for the 94/95 swing arms right now.

Dog bones look to me as one piece so this must be a p model but i will call the guy and ask him about it , i just hope it's the same cushion lever for both models . Part number for p model is 62600-40830 i couldn't find part number for r/s model . 

He is asking only 80 euros for it ... 

I bought a hayabusa swingarm too after i got tired of looking for a 1995 braced for 3 years and when the hayabusa one arrived i finally  found the braced one!

Hi Panos.....saw you had a number of swingarms, could you please weigh them and post the figures  ? I've always believed that the Slingshot arm was lighter than the braced ones. You've probably fitted the 750 by now, but any info would be good. Cheers mate 

 

I will do it , just need to find a scale first .

I just weighed them with a cheap scale that is not accurate at all but still could give an idea in comparison between them .

750w without bearings and spacers  5.5kg

slingshot without bearings and spacers just a bit heavier maybe 5.6kg ?? 

hayabusa with bearings and spacers showed around 6.5kg 

I will weigh them again when i get a proper scale i just used what i could find .

Also slingshot one was a bit lightened thanks to my dadimage.thumb.jpeg.0fc322f6f37b2fbf8f340abd42fbdd86.jpeg

Great info Panos, thanks (y)  They're closer than I thought,  the braced 1100ws - on , is longer, so will be heavier,  but the 750wr/s is very similar kg to the Slingshot, but is shorter, food for thought .. 

I removed axle adjusters from slingshot swingarm  750w doesnt have them on either ,  got a  scale and ... DSC02250.thumb.JPG.436e8226219ba2d8a26ce58ca1563c3b.JPGDSC02249.thumb.JPG.42eee1c7d5d678c5b1c68f77737a0dde.JPGDSC02248.thumb.JPG.2711d6002f195a9d44fb42b2afee181a.JPG 

Hayabusa one 1kg heavier!
