Swingarm figment
Posted: Mon Mar 25, 2013 8:01 pmWhat the difference between a gsx750et swingarm and one from a 1100 Kat?
steel round tube vs. aluminium square(-ish) tube..
750/1100 Kat same as 1100EX/ET btw..

Posted: Tue Mar 26, 2013 1:20 pmwidth of the steel round tube and aluminium box section swingarms is the same at the pivot point.. so they can be swapped easily.. BUT if I recall correctly the pivot spindle diameters are different (15mm on 1100/Kat, ??mm on 750..)
this can be fixed by fitting the frame-correct bearing bushes though..
not sure about the swingarm length though.. going by the general rule 1100's often have a larger wheelbase, the 1100/Kat swingarm is probably a bit longer..
