Samikoo Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment
no class Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 6" wheel will not fit your frame width ....... frame mod would need to be done . 1 Quote Link to comment
Slabbyruss712 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment

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. Edited August 28, 2018 by Samikoo Information Quote Link to comment

370steve Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) i fitted a GSX1400 one with GSXR1300 wheel to my GS750 frame. Edited August 28, 2018 by 370steve 1 Quote Link to comment
Samikoo Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 You don't happen to have the length of that swingarm scribbled somewhere? 1 Quote Link to comment
370steve Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 no, but it is rather long, about 4" longer than a stock GS swing arm Quote Link to comment

micktodd Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment

ibrakeformoose Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment
