Finally did the 600RR swingarm swap....
Got the installation done this weekend. Had a guy named Mike who has done the swap before do it, i helped here and there but he did most of the work so it would get done faster....
Rides nice, got the suspension tuned and it is not as stiff as it was.......feels good now..... havent had her in the twisties yet as the weather hasnt been great but managed to get it washed up in between periods of rain..... I think it looks alot better this way.....

thanks for the comments....
Chain: 108 is too short, 110 is too short (found out hard way) we have 112 on there now IIRC and it seems a lil long as my adjusters are already in the replace zone (past it almost) so i think im going to go -1 -1 sprockets and that should bring the adjusters in and take out the extra master link.....
No cutting or welding...... just need to drill out one hole, cut off a plastic flap, rest of the bike remains unchanged...

It does look nice. Although,I have to say that if I was motivated enough to do a swingarm swap, it would have to be for a SSSA. Pure sex. That picture of that dudes yellow bike that was chromed out with the SSSA was amazing. Im not a fan of chrome (At all) but that was sexxy.
