GSX750(ES) swingarm options for 6" wheel

[Samikoo]

I've seen a few different swingers fitted to these things, so I was wondering what would be my options if I wanted to fit a 6" wheel?

It would be a big plus if the swinger in question would be as short as possible.

6" wheel will not fit your frame width ....... frame mod would need to be done .

4.5 inch in mine with a slingshot arm, and no full floater, chain run I'd tight but I didn't want to cut frame out

Yes, I know. That's why I only asked about the swingarm.

the swing arm width is not the problem! as the tyre on the 6" rim would require a chain run that the stock frame would not be able to cope with without modification

Yes, this is the part that I understood, that is why I posted a picture of my butchered frame. I'll run the chain outside the frame if that's what it takes, I just need to find a swingarm that can take a 6" wheel... It currently has a 4.5" wheel, and it's real tight with the chain to frame clearance, so I kinda figured that one out on my own.

5.5" any easier

Might be, but the chain would still hit the frame. And I want a wide rear end...

Thanks. Anyone ever fitted one of these on a GR72A?

I think I'll see what ZX12 and the other big bikes are using.

i fitted a GSX1400 one with GSXR1300 wheel to my GS750 frame.

You don't happen to have the length of that swingarm scribbled somewhere?

[370steve]

no, but it is rather long, about 4" longer than a stock GS swing arm

gsxr600 srad arm will take a 6 inch rim & is also short

That one looks great for my purposes, thank you. And they're quite cheap too, just like me.

Easy fit as well think only needed to take 2mm of each side of my gs frame even found some alloy spacers for inside the swingarm that was on my gs750

Was it alot of work fitting the swinger?

You could fit an outrigger but that'd be costly.. or you could cheat and go with a jackshaft and then your options on rear sizing are limitless.

Top and bottom shock mounts to make and moded the original bearing inners so kept the standard pivot bolt size
