Title: Swingarm swp question
Post by: Cozzy on August 20, 2008, 04:22:57 PM
I am trying to modify  the bandit 400 swing arm into the gs500 frame, now I have got a problem.

the bolt that hold the GS500 swinarm is about 3 mm smaller in diameter than the bandit400 swingarm, should i enlarge the hold on the frame and use the bandit400 bolt or get some to make a space to retain the gs500 bolt.

Also the mounting point is around 2 mm wider, so it need somw grinding.

Other than that all things are nearly a bolt on job, the linkage and shock is somewhat similar in size.

I would make spacers... but they will either need a shoulder to retain them or make them so they are a press fit in the inner race.
