I just like oem fit and finish better, plus i'm a perfectionist, and i don't think it will turn out the way i like it. Don't get me wrong i think it looks good, but it's just not the route I want to go.

i like how it looks, except the gap between the lowers and the tank. that is the only turn off of swapping lowers for me. i dont mind the shape of stock, i rather like it, its just the blunt nose and headlight that i dont like. i want to do a upper mod and maybe combine two uppers to change the shape, but keep the mounts the same.

It's actuall a 94 f2 upper mixed with an r6, it looks crazy, i can't wait to see it finished. I want to go a similar route like his, only with an rr swingarm, an r1 style tail, and a stock/gixxer upper. Maybe with a candy green powdercoated frame, gixxer forks, and black paint with green flake. what are you thinkin rrasco?

I think it looks good, its one of a kind. I think you should keep as is.

that would be awesome, if that is what you want, i say go for it. if you have the resources, energy, and experience to pull it off, DO IT! i thought about getting an RR swingarm and seeing if i could make it fit, but i just dont have the energy. i am going to be buying one here in the next year anyway....hopefully anywho.

this is the one i thought you were talking about, i had not seen rsp919's yet.

rsp919's bike is coming along sick though, i love the swingarm and the frame. i want to take my bike completely apart and get my frame powdercoated, but i dont know if i could get the WHOLE bike back togethor. we will see what happens, i have a new neighbor who works on bikes, he actually just got his 600RR track bike back, so maybe there is hope. he did a really good job with that exhaust too, doesnt still out all bunk like some others i have seen. i wanted to put the RR exhaust on mine when i do the tail swap, but abandoned for fear of failure and not to mention the cost associated. i have way too many projects going right now.

The RR swing arm take MAJOR frame mods. I started on it but decided to just do the f3 swing arm instead. I am now in the prcess of mounting the f4 sub fram for the tail swap.
