With your manufacturing talents I would have thought you'd make one to order mate.

Good question Mate.

I have a spare Busa arm sat next to my B12,
they look OK with the brace and a Busa has a 6"
rim but they have a big heavy casting at the front
of the brace.

Also spotted this recently....

...so keeping the B12 arm and just adding an R1 or Blade
brace would be another option.

I agree with that, Tony.
The Bandit already runs a 180 tyre so the only real benefit is cosmetic. By the time you stuff around with sprocket alignment, it would be far easier to brace the stock swinger.

mine runs 190 and i want it stretched and lowered keepin a turbo in mind i think that cbr600 have pretty long swingers and must be light weight to?

ps nah they all makes seem to have the same length

On the stock 5.5" rim or have you used a 6"
I like 180 on a 5.5", 190/200 on a 6" but thats just me.

Be interesting to see how easy a Busa arm could be modded
to fit as theres LOTS of long/braced/drag arm's about for them.

Bit of maybe useless info:

GSXR600 arm's are shorter than Busa arm's.
The Busa guys fitted them and then extended them.
The advantage being without the bulky front brace
the bike could be lowered considerably.

I looked at fitting one to shorten my Busa but
there were clearance issues with the suspension at full height.
