Hey Rich, is the Fazer swing arm the same length ?

Hiya . Has anyone tried the 17 inch conversion for the FZR 1000 genesis?? Is the standard shock usable ? can I just change the swing arm ?? are the swing arm pivots the same for all FZR's ??? I need to convert the rear end for 17 inch rubber for a wider choice for track use only . CAN ANYONE HELP ??? PLEASE .................

Cheers for the response (s) (Mike). :twisted: I have gpt a FZR swinger, shock, dog legs and was wondering about the swing arm pivot. Would the swing arm pivot be th right size? The only reason I mentioned theAce before is because I thought they share the same or derivitives of the same frame ? :? IE; FZR1000... FZR1000 EXUP....YZF 750....YZF 1000.??? :?: It's OK if it's spindal problem because wheel bearings can be produced for little money and spacers also. I think I would prefer to go the whole back end if I could be confident about the swing arm pivot. Maybe I could get a complete back end and just machine a spindle as the cheapest option. Thanx for the offer of the swinger from a Fazer, the only question I have is over the length of the arm. Thanx chaps keep 'em commin

Hi peeps, this is my first post (as opposed to last !), so HI to everyone. I was wondering if anyone would know if the rear wheel from a FZR 1000 genesis, which is 18 inch, can easily be replaced with a 17 incher, from a Ace or something that allows 180 section tyres. I just want to give myself more choice with rubber as I fully intend to turn to track biking next year. I know a 998cc FZR isn't the tool of choice but I was hoping to get to embarace a few 'trackies' on a bike as old as they are !! Any constructive critisizm or advise greatly received. :hug
