also, i tihnk the spacer is more to keep the caliper from flopping around bc the axle is a diff diameter, so i dont think it would matter a whole lot bc the caliper mount is acting as the spacer to, adding some strength

Dude you have been some serious help tonight. You got any pics of your bike? I've been working on perfecting everything for my bike for the past few months

What are the benefits of changing to the RR swing arm?

I recall someone that had done it in this forum to say that they did not notice any handling difference, good or bad.

I would venture to guess that people do it for the ol' Bling factor.
Looks different and new.

Default 600RR swing arm conversion



I did it and it just might be in my head, but the bike feels alot tighter in the twisties and the ride is not as harsh as I thought with the 1000RR rear shock. I would never change back.
