I've done a search both here and in the 600 mod forum on switching out my F3 swingarm for an F4 or any other swingarm that would fit with minor modification. Want to put different rims on, and so far the smallest rims I have found fit 180 tires, so that means I need toput a larger swingarm on. I could have one made for about $1000.00 but if I can get away with another swingarm from another year bike and come out cheaper, then thats what i'll do. Any suggestions?

 

Seems like a new wheel,axle, custom spacers and a new set of bearings might be cheaper... ?

I know a 180 fits on the F3's 5.5" wheel... do you know how wide the RR wheels are? I know it would be pretty tight if it did.

What wheels are ya lookin' at?

 

They are PM (Performance Machine) wheels. I believe the stock F3 wheels are 5.0. Standard tire size for the wheel is 160. I love the stock rims but it's time for a differnt look.

 

Anyone know more about this? I havea big dent in mine and am thinkin of swaping for the F4~F4i style. I will have to measure them but it'd be nice to know if anyone ever was successful with the swap.
