I remember reading a while ago about someone on here going to fit a different swing arm, did that ever happen ??

I'd quite like a single sided unit myself, what kinda problems will arise do you think ??

Haven't thought of doing it to my CR, but a "few"....years back, I put a Honda VFR swing arm on my 90 FZR1000.
Lotsa measuring, two titanium spacers and a longer (!) chain.
Worked well for many miles and two bikes.

Then when that bike went over 100,000 miles, I put it on an 89 FZR, put another 35,000 miles on it...THEN...sold it all to a guy in England.

Would you say I got my moneys worth out of that swap..?

It spawned a few questions here and there. Was nice to have something really different.
