Hi Guys,

Looking for some help with swing arms.. Just wanted to know how hard it would be to fit any one of the following swing arms

This

to a GSXR 1100 '97 frame? I know this might not be the best place to ask but I need a best fit and how many hours i'm looking at. I a mate that can fabricate/fix to fit parts for me and wanted to get a general consensus before buying anyone of these.

Thanks in advance.

looked in too it by all accounts all of those would be a royal pain in the arse requiring frame mods and custom parts made .

what is your reasoning for wanting the swingarm swapping is the important question ......different ones will affect the handling in different ways

Its probably for cosmetic reasons.

The swingarm on the GSXR1100W wasnt the weak link in the handling on those machines.

The frame, particularly the headstock area flexing under heavy braking. Thats a consequence of the double cradle design.

That's scary! How do I fix this? I've always thought the bad points had something to do with the rear shocks and breaking. My back wheel locks up quickly, I have to be extra careful on the rear breaks. I always thought it was a combination of the hard compound tire, new break pads and the suspension setup. Do u know anything about this?
