could I fit a double-sided swingarm to my NC35?

[Timmeh]

quick question.

Been offered a 600RR3 swingarm for very little.

any thing is possible,
ask for the measurements of the swing arm where it mounts to the frame, i dare say it'll be a bit wide for your slim frame, you can slim up the swing arm a wee bit, you would most defently have to change the bearings to suit your bikes pivot bolt, and probably alter the dog bones to suit the ride height,
it'll be alot of work, and if you can handle the bike being off the road for a bit, and you know a machinist or have easy acess to one to make spacers ect, then i personally would go for it,

bear in mind also that the cbr wheel, may not line up with your chain either.

food for thought

good luck

y on earth would u want to?!! the nc35 looks sweet, an the single sided swing arm is one of its best features, it may upset the way they handle as well if im not mistaken....

Generally double sided swingarms work better than single sided ones.

However, this is a double sided swingarm designed to take a lot more power through it, so may not be lighter.

I wouldn't bother alot of work to make the bike look worse.

Have you got decent suspension set up to your weight? Light weight wheels? Read twist of the Wrist II?

Any of those I expect will make a much bigger difference than the swingarm.

Well if a NC35 swinger can be made to fit a 1986 GSXR1100 id imagine you could get it to fit.

A properly set up VFR front end should be perfectly adequate if you add in after market springs and possibly damping.
Better than the stock components in a CBR one I expect.

Why do people think they can do a better job than multi million pound companies that have spent years of R&D on their machines?

why get a single sided swing armed bike then put a twin on it??
it will lose its appeal wouldnt it? i like the single arm look its great.
it would be differnt granted, but there'd be lots of work like bearings being made for it and trimming it down, rear wheel needed brake set up etc. it could throw off the balance also?

As G says, don't take the bike of the road for 6 months and spend a fortune, just get decent front fork internals and a properly set up aftermarket (Maxton) rear shock and the bike will handle better than 90% of all other VFRs. Total cost should be about £800. Plus, if you sell the bike you can replace the shock and flog it on.
