does anyone know if it is a direct swap? will i need the monoshock from the 954 as well or will the 929 mono work? i think i saw this done around here , i just cant remember who.....not lookin for trouble , just like the look and the ability to use spools. thanks for any help....peece

 

This is what you will need.

1. 954 Swingarm

2. 954 Linkage (triangular piece)

3. 954 Rear brake holder

4. 954 Chain Slider

5. 954 Right Side Collar

6. 954 Right side Inner Bearing (all other bearings and seals are the same part #'s)

7. 929 Dogbone

8. 929 Rear Shock

9.The chain gaurds are the same but you can get a hugger.

it is a direct swap. i did it on my 929RR. i was also lucky enough to get a 954 swingarm off ebay with the hugger and all the bearings already inside it so I did not have to worry about removing them from my 929 swingarm and swapping in the ones needed.

 

thx ROBLES ,, im hopin to score one off E-bay and need a list exatly like you provided ,, thanks for the time bro..ive got the same model as you..did it change handling in any way? what benefit didyou get out of this other than the ability to put on spools? got any picks? again thanks for the help man...

 

doesnt change the handling. some people say the 954 swingarm is lighter and stronger but i dont ride the bike to its limits to notice the difference. it does look a bit better though because of the hugger

this is pretty much the best picture I have of it. it looks pretty much the same. I got it mostly for the spools and also when on a rear stand, even with no spools, the bike is not leaned over to one side like it used to be with the stock 929 swingarm, just how they were made

 

thanks for help bro,sweet 929 man...

 

Bam bam, I have an '01 929RR with stock swingarm...I have spools and a spool stand and a rear fender. Easier to mod what you have than be paying for a total swap out. I'll try to show pics of my bike and what I did.

 

From What I understand, the 929's swingarm is stiffer and stronger than the 954s, thought the 954s is lighter. Apparently Honda thought the 929 was too stiff laterally, and they reduced the lateral stiffness of the frame and swinger to make it easier to control when leaned over. When the bike's leaned over, road loads feed more into the chassis then the suspension, and that means the stiffness of the bike's chassis has to be tuned for optimal performance. I found that in this sport rider article. Pretty cool.
