Default Single sided swingarms...

Where do the rear wheels, hubs, ect come from for the swing arm conversion. I think a 600rr single side would look bad as hell on my f4i. This is just a vision and visions are known to change with estimated costs but I don't even know where to look...

mostly from Honda VFR/Interceptor 750/800's.

I guess you could try it with a Triumph Speed Triple or a Ducati, if you can find the parts, but I think the Honda stuff will be cheaper.

What do the busa guys use? It would be so easy to market a wheel and a hub w/ a rotor relcation set up on it. I can't believe no one does already. All I need is a wheel and a hub and I can make the rest work. lol I don't want to mess with the geometry though so If I can stick to and 03 rr ish swing arm it won't affect me suspension all that much

The swing arm is the easy part. Lol. I could whack half of a 600rr swing arm off no problem but I need the wheel and the bearing it bolts to. :/

most the ones that arent vfr/truimph/ducati etc are fully custom and expensive as ****. i would imagine the process of turning a 600rr swing into a single side swingarm would not be worth to effort, if it was even rigid enough(highly doubtful). ive seen several f4is w/ vfr800 swingarms tho...

If you planned on putting a custom single sided on ur f4i you should really just buy a bike with one from the factory. They carry a heavy price tag.....
