Cbr600f3 swingarm conversion
I had an old K reg Cbr600f2 track bike which I loved and should never have sold, went for a more modern R1 which was just too much so I managed to buy a 1998 F3 to track day as I my old steelie was wicked. I would love to change the swingarm arm over to something a bit more modern. Can't be hassled with having to modify just want a straight bolt in swap if possible, I've heard a rumour the cbr900rr fireblade swingarm is my best bet but can't find anything on it. Can anyone help, does anyone have pictures, video of a F3 swingarm conversion already done and was it easy?

Why? I'd be willing to bet the farm that nothing would be straight bolt in. And then who's to say the shock mount would be in the proper spot without raising or lowering the ass too much one way or the other. If you want a stronger swingarm, have your original braced. If you want wider so you could run wider wheel with 180 tire, there is a 900rr wheel conversion instructions on this forum somewhere. But.............the F2's and F3's work the best with original components with the exception of an Fox or Ohlins shock and original forks with springs and fluid or revalve for your weight. They were intended to flex a little anyhow and if the swingarm and frame were strengthened it probably would affect the handling in a negative way. Oh, by the way, Welcome to the forum.
