RE: vfr swing arm
Yes. I just dont know where to find it anymore. It was a 1987/1988 Hurricane with the single sided swingarm from VFR750. It was beautiful.
Here is a CBR600 with VFR swingarm.

RE: vfr swing arm
have already done a few measurements, as Until about one week ago I had both models in my garage.
the distance from the centre of the wheel to the sprocket are identical, as is the tyre size. so can't see a problem with lining up hte sprockets there.
the distance from the pivot point to the rear spindle is shorter, so would have to probably drop 2 links this would make the chain a 112 link, which is what the vfr750 runs.
the only major problems would be the suspension linkage and exhaust, if we asume that we will get an engineering firm to seat the swing arm and any spacers needed.
will keep looking and see if anyone in the UK has done this, it is quite a common mod for a blade

. I had a VFR and love the single sided swingarm. Would the extra bhp make any difference?

Wow look great, don't think i could go that radical really need a seat for the wife!!
have not had a great deal of time to study the pictures, don't have broad band where I live.
it looks like you had to mod the frame to fit the shock in, is that right?
what is any spacers did you need to get it to fit and line up?
sorry to ask loads of questions! have you got a link to a write up at all?
cheers mate I now have plenty of food for thought
