What'up guys, first of all, i'm a new member, had my city/x for about a year and havent really done much to it yet other than a d&d pipe and hacking off the cheesegrater.
here's the question, has anyone tried to swap a swing arm off of XB9Ss to a regular XB.

Depending on what year Sx you have will depend on whether or not you can think about it. The '06 models have a different mounting at the engine then the 05's and down. I also assume you mean an XB12Ss Lightning Long.

I wasn't aware they changed the swingarm mount on the motor.

I had thought that was the same since they billed the RR motor as a bolt-in for the older model XBs.

If they are indeed a bolt-in then the swingarm mounts should be the same.

I thought the rear motor mount was different, but also a bolt-on part.

It is an interesting idea though, retro fitting the new lighter swing-arm. dimensionally it should be the same
if the mount to the motor is the same since the sprockets and belts stayed the same dimensions.

IIRC the bearing dimensions and bolt are different, and possibly the dimension of the mounting area. The RR 'motor' is a bolt in to the 'frames' of the older model XB's but not the swingarm.

The oil line posistioning is different, and I remember reading that they wouldn't interchange. But I dont know for sure.
