swing arm convertion

mark72

thanks for that .....just lobbed one on for you .....

zx6chris

looks good that dose and u dont see them like that any where

mark72

cheers for that just decided a year or so ago to paint it in the marlboro colours ayrton senna had on his formula 1 car......

zx6chris

if u change the swing arm u will need a new shock coe the one u have on there will hit the arm and is a pain in the shitter to swap once the arm is in wht year arm were i thinking of getting?

oldninjadude

Nice1! Ayrton Senna was the man in F-1. One hell of a driver.
I seem to remember an American by the name of >Wayne Rainey <LOL who might aprove of that paint sceam too.

mark72

yeah i remember Wayne Rainey but hes bike was slighty brighter orange than the formula one cars ....so being me had to be different and go for the car colour ....lol

as parts go ive been collecting them
what ive got so far is 2007 swing arm ,rear spindle,shock and waiting for rear caliper with bracket to come through the post
so i wanted to find out the best way to convert it which now ive got the link will help me out a hell of alot
and then once thats all done its move on to the rear seat section and fit a b1h rear on it
then fit some upside down forks with all the bits to the front
so ive got a winter of playing in the garage which will keep me happy ...lol

oldninjadude

yeah I think Wayne's was closer to red,
You won't need that caliper, Your caliper is the same & will work as is.
Your right about the bracket though. Another thing your going to need is a longer brake line.

I did the 05/06 conversion on mine with the stock wheels.
Chris, as you know, did the 07/08 & stock wheels. Between us we should be able to
help you out.

oldninjadude

Another thing, you will need to break your chain, so grab a new master link .

zx6chris

its manly the caliper carier that needs the work done and a bit on the swing arm on the chain side i was wondering what usd forks u were going to use im going to be fitting the zx12 forks once iv done the oil on them here the link to my j1 thread there quite a bit in there u might find helpfull
and i used a 110 link chain as well

the j1

mark72

why with the brake line is the rear arm slightly longer than the standard ?
looking at the 07 arm i realised the chain had to be split .....so being if the arm is longer i would have to put a few links in the chain?

well im going to start the conversion next week so will keep you all posted how its going

forks,yokes,and bars are off a b1h 6r 2004

zx6chris

its about an inch longer so ur brake line wont reach but keep the pics comming in

what forks u going to get?

oldninjadude

A link ot two will help, I just adjusted mine up & it works well with 108(stock).
The thing with the brake is not the length of the swingarm, It the position of the caliper.
On your stock setup it sets @ about the 1 o'clock position, the new bracket
will put it @ about the 11 o'clock position.

mark72

the forks are just standard usd from a 2004 6r b1h
why im changing them i dont know ......mine are probably just as good but its an ongoing toy i just want to play with when the misses is doing her stuff and it just will look different .....thats probably the reason why

ok will have to have a raid in the parts box at work for a braided line
