hi all i have a cbr1000f 1991 model and i want a spare swinging arm does any 1 have a spare 1 they want to sell in the uk, thanks stu

 

Stu,
Welcome to CBRF!

If I were you, I wouldn't change the swingarm. All you could really do is go longer, and then you're gonna jeopardize handling and I don't think you want to do that on this bike.

The stock swingarm is made for this bike. It's a great fit. I wouldn't screw with that. Some other things, sure, but I probably wouldn't mess with the rear end.

Just my opinion, though....

 

Pretend to be a buyer and ask this Guy what he used

That's kind of messed up but to each their own.

 

That just looks like the OEM swingarm that has been lengthened.

The only thing i have seen done is to add bracing to the OEM swing arm to make it look different.

 

I wonder how it would look with a VFR single sided swing arm???

I've seen a few Fireblades with it done..

 

I guess it would look like this

An amazing result of sheer determination by the looks of it Dean0 !

Not sure I'd go through all that for an 87.......but each to their own I guess

 

I love the look of the single sided swingarm like the VFR mod.
I've seen others do it, too.

Maybe a little bit of work, but it looks awesome, imo.

Like the new CB1000. Have you seen that? It was featured in either Motorcyclist or Cycle World this month. I think it looks cool as hell.

 

I've seen the stock one chromed and that ad talks about a black powder coat. Both could improve the look, depending on what else you do. The brushed finish is tough to keep clean, so I know what you mean. I'd probably go gloss black to make it easy to clean and essentially disappear.
