08- R1 arm in slingshot

[spiderpig]

Anyone have any info? 

Plan for next fighter. I know it's too wide for the 11L frame but more concerned with linkage arrangement.

Pain in the ass to find a photo of a naked 08 R1, the linkage doesn't look to be too crazy, how much wider is it than the frame?

I put an earl R1 arm in a 750 slabby which was a lot of work.

It's verrrry wide, iirc when I narrow it enough to fit the frame there isn't enough bearing cup left for a bearing. So need to narrow it, bore it out and fit new cups. 

 

The linkage is similar set up to early r1 but offset for the underseat linkpipe, just to make life harder. All the slingshot mounts will have to be cut off and start from scratch.

Pivot width is over 260mm on the later R1 where it's only 230 odd on OSS

Got a similar linkage set up on a jmc swingarm, and it's a real pain to set up right, so much so I'm going to take out the jmc and put a more standard gsxr arm in with normal linkage
