i put a 93 (?) gsxr swingarm on an fzr 600 many years ago. had a 92ish gsxr (4.5") wheel on it. should be able to fit a later model gsxr wheel in it and stuff a 180/190 in the arm.

it's not a direct bolt on, but it's do-able.

if you haven't already checked the site out, its got a ton of info for the FZR's..... and what you can do for a rear swingarm, and wider tire.

i wanna say a yzf will fit, but i can't remember for sure, but theres another SA that people put on too..... not sure off the top of my head

I know this is going to sound like an impossible feat but find an '90 FZR400 swingarm. I think it's a bolt on component but not completely sure. My brother put an FZR400 swingarm on his '88? FZR600 so that he could run a wider tire as well.I think it also shortened the wheel base as well allowing for improved cornering. I'll give my brother a call in a few hours and see what details I can get from him.

yeah, fzr400's, especially the later ones with aluminum arms are rarer than rocking horse terds.

Yeah steve, Lewis is the KTM dealer.

euro - I have five assorted sport bike swing arms in my garage. I bought a bunch when I started my latest project to figure out what would work best. They're all labeled what they came off of, so you can pick up the correct corresponding wheels, etc. if you want to go that route. If you want to roll by the house this weekend and see if any of them will work for you, I'll be around. 50 bucks a piece if you see something that'll work for you. Cell # is 757-816-9761

-Dan
