Righto, I've got myself a swingarm, linkages and sh0ck form a 2004-05 GSXR 600/750 to put in my 1990 GSXR1100. I pulled the swingarm out today and did a bit of a trial fit of the new one. To my surprose, they were the same with at the pivot, so the swap should be straight forward :D.
What I do need to know is what can I do to adapt the 20mm pivot bolt to the new swinger, which is 25mm diameter? Can I just get a single long sleeve made up, or does anyone have any other suggestions?
Also, I didn't remove the original shock and linkages, but it looks like I need some spacers where the new linkage will bolt to the frame (90 a lot wider than 04). Has anyone done this sort of thing before?
Finally, am I going to have issues with chain alignment? New swinger is 15-20mm wider at the rear axle (and 45mm shorter, should be a wheelie machine!!!)
Any advice appreciated, thanks.
