Wow I just look at the R6 swinger and its like 4 inches wider than the rz I don't even know where to begin cutting and widening to fit it to my frame so its a bust ill just keep with stock swingarm and put my $$$ somewhere else as its stock and it works I have other issues to spend my valuable earn $$$ on likiw wiring
anyone using ultima wiring harness kit? (maybe ill start another thread on it as it liiks simple and using a solid state battery is in my plan)

Cheers Bryan

MK wrote:RGV250: Either gullwing or straight work both. Use the adapter plates from the net incl the stock linkage. Get a "RGV" shock build/setup for new bike+rider weight.

For the front end I would prefer the R6 over the RGV.
6 kg lighter and better suspension / adjustments.

150 or 160 tire is just fine. I prefer the 160's as there's more choices.

Tires are Metzeler M7RR, Penske shock setup for the bike.

Hi, here is my R6 swingarm/rim conversion :-)

- Swingarm pivot machining to raise down the wideness
- New uper shock linkage (tig welded)
- Inner area of the frame modified.
