Lol at lj. The throttle cable was for a pocket bike I didn't want to order parts for.

I'm a mechanic by trade but can fabricate as well. I also like to tackle anything custom but there isn't enough money in Michigan to get by doing it for a living

I wouldn't try this, lol. SSSA's are designed and manufactured very carefully to resist the torsional strain only having a mounting point on one side of the wheel applies to the assembly. Any dbl sided swingarm isn't going to be reinforced in the proper way and would end up twisting when used. Reinforcing it yourself wouldn't be foolproof and would end up looking like **** regardless. Your better off just going with a vfr swingarm.

Besides, unless I'm mistaken (possible), a 600rr's swingarms a little longer than yours so your going to be altering the geomentry some regardless. Either way would be cool to see.
