Default swingarm swap




Want to know if the subframe and swing arm on a 94 cbr 1000f and a blackbird are the same doing a tail and extended swingarm conversion but want to know if they will bolt right up or not came across a rare 12 inch extended swingarm for a blackbird and don't want to pass it up

Why would you want to put a longer swingarm on a bike that already has a long wheelbase & is rock stable?

Didn't realise I had posted that.
Check and see if the part numbers for the swingarm bolt are the same or not that will tell you straight away if the width is the same .

If not it can all be done with spacers, it justs take a ****load of measurement and good machining to get the sprockets and wheels to line up. Go to a wrecker and buy a Blackbird swingarm bolt. That should help with getting an idea of the size difference

You also may need to use the rear brake off the Blackbird. You would also need to replace the rear brake lines.

Anything is do-able, just depends on how much $$$ you want to throw at it and how much you can do yourself.
