2006 RSV swingarm

Post by luke7 »

Hi,
I fitted the earlier RSV swingarm a few years ago and i'm looking to change it to the later model.
I've tried search through the forums to find someone who has done it, but no luck.
I'm trying to find out what alterations i need to do to it to make it fit?
Thanks!

I`m sure its been done before, just keep searching.
Mine is an earlier RSV conversion (rounded swinger) rather than the later more boxy one?
Remember any guide you get you need to take into account the mods you have already done as you will not be going from standard.
Luckily most of the metal removal is done from the swinger and not the original bike so I don`t see it being an issue

Can I ask why people do this conversion? Is it just for the look, or are there good technical reasons? :?

The original swinger is rather boring and not as substantially built so it is predominantly cosmetic, at least it was for me, I just reckoned it looked really trick!
It allows you to use all the original bits mostly and to upgrade to fancy RSV bits if wanted.

It can be done, but its not as simple as using earlier models swingarm.
Try to check from italian website.
