swingarm options for '92 750w?

[KoroKoro]

Hi guys,

Re: swingarm swaps, is it worthwhile changing the banana style for a braced design?

I have a '92/'93 750w. After a moderate stack with a cager, I've had the bike completely stripped. Frame and swingarm sand blasted.
Unfortunately, the current arm has a bit of a gash from where the exhaust hit.

I was going to polish it, but hasn't happened in 2 years. so gave up... so going to the powder coaters. So I guess I need to make up my mind.

I don't have much of a clue as to what will bolt in or even if its a worthwhile upgrade... though I can't say I like the look of the banana arm.
Though I'm a little worried I would have to replace all of the linkages or even the shock. Isn't a huge issue except it already has a nice ohlins damper.

Cheers

WR/WS braced arm bolts in if you use the WN/WP needle bearing sleeves inside the WR/WS needle bearing sleeves to make up for the bigger spindle diameter.

 

BTW - that's an 1100 arm there.

1100 arm toooo long.

Swap it for the braced arm off 94 95 model. Will sharpen your steering. Turn alot easier .

Oh and your linkage you have should fit too.

Thanks guys.

Just called a few of the local wreckers here in Sydney... and no luck. Apparently these are quite sort after. One of the largest wreckers here sold one not too long ago for $600 AUD...

I know I don't have enough posts, but do you guys think if I ask admin nicely (pretty please) they can let me have access to the classified section?

My wife is moving in from overseas in about a month, so I need to spend my cash and build this thing before she can stop me  

[Madb]

You could go k1 750. 

[KoroKoro]

Nice idea!

Those will be much easier to find. Would there be much work getting it to fit?

I have to admit though, the '95 swingarm is sexier though

So which admin will i need to grovel to so I can look at the buy/sell section?

28 days left until the mrs takes over...  so pressure is on to get this done haha

i would speak to the head of the bushwhackin' dept.......

[Gammaboy]

There was a Wrecker in Adelaide who had a couple of '94 (WS) braced swingarms on Eblag earlier in the year for reasonable money. I've got a 750 arm thats the same as your pic but shorter kicking around up here in Brizvegas.

Vizman: bushwackers weren't interested in my creative plea... 36 more posts to go

Gamma: Thanks mate. You wouldn't happen to know the name of the mob would you?

Cheers

cheers.
Do I also need to buy the rear wheel also? Or just make new spacers? Because I kinf of just recently powder coated my rear wheel ^^;

[Gammaboy]

Rear wheel should slot straight in I think

[Madb]

Yes slot straight in but you will need the chain adjusters sliders as they are diff to the banana arm. Everything else fits. But dont forget to put your bearing inserts from the old arm into the new arm. Jobs a good'un then. 

[KoroKoro]

Woot. Got the swingarm from show n go. really helpful mob. Good call on the chain adjusters too. sold separately... so would have forgotten them otherwise
Can't wait

happy days i been trying to find a 94/95 arm for ages
