Title: Katana Swing Arm and Rear Wheel
Post by: Whatever6060 on June 19, 2005, 04:46:39 PM
I'm thinking about purchasing a 2000 katanna swing arm and rear wheel.  Will the swing arm and shock bolt right on?  I already wanted to put a katana shock on but might as well bolt on the swing arm and take advantage of the bigger wheel.  What do you guys think?  Will I need to put a bigger front wheel on?

good luck
it's a pain in the ass to do that conversion
the foot pegs will have to be moved....  out      about 1 inch on each side to clear the swingarm
and it really looks kinda tarded when you do that
