This will be a work in progress. This will be a very loose guide on what you need for this swing arm swap. here is a list of what I used. (this list can vary)
07/08 zx6r swingarm
09 zx10r shock (not necessary but i got a good deal on one)
05-08 rear spacers, axle, rotor and rear brake bracket (still have to make the correct wheel spacers)
zx7/zx9r hub/bearing spacer P/N:92143-1473 (obsolete, had to order one from south africa believe it or not)
25mm wheel bearings (same as the front wheel bearings for the 98+ zx6r)
25mm cush drive bearing: 20-1024
08 zx6r cush drive spacer
Forgive my photo taking skills
Here is one problem, the new bearings are 2 or 3mm thinner than stock so a washer should be made to take up the extra space inorder for the ring clip to secure the bearings in place
There is an issue with the sprocket alignment. Another member on another forum said that the front sprocket must be offset from the motor about 3mm. I cannot confirm that due to my motor still being rebuilt.
The 05-08 rotor fits perfectly but the 05-08 caliper bracket is very very close to the rotor and catches on the allen bolt as the wheel turns. very simple just grind off the excess until the wheel turns free.
Looks pretty much dead on. My tank is not aligned so it may seem as if something is off
If you want to fit a zx10r shock you must do some modifications to the shock itself.
end result (almost)
Some other notes:
Another member on a different forum has done this already so I cannot take complete credit for this swap.
1. The other member used the same wheel bearings but stuck with the stock cush drive bearing (25mm) and made a custom bearing and cush drive spacer. I used a 30mm bearing and used the 08 cush drive spacer, same set up as the 07/08 wheel. either works i guess but this will make your wheel spacers different from mine vs his. So my suggestion is to put the wheel bearings in and decide which way you would go since you would have to machine 3 custom spacers instead of the 1 i only need to make.
2. The hub spacer that spaces your wheel bearings can ideally found off a zx7(r) or a zx9r its 25mm and 133mm in length so its perfect. However this part is obsolete so you can actually buy the 05-13 zx6r hub spacer but shorten it to the ideal 133mm (its 137mm). I somehow found a zx7 spacer for $16 in south africa so i was lucky.
3. if your 07/08 swingarm comes with a washer for the pivot, i would just stick with the washer off your original swingarm because it fits very well with it. if the 07/08 washer works than go for it.
4. The wheel spacers i used was the one stock spacer from the 05-08 axle for the sprocket side of the wheel. the rotor side of the wheel i measured the spacer to be about 24.47mm so 24.5mm. Use these measurements loosely since it varies and i could be wrong
