Single sided swingarm on a 95 F3?

  

numbereleven -> Single sided swingarm on a 95 F3? (9/22/2005 5:12:11 PM)

New member, second post. Has anyone done/seen a single sided swingarm on an F3? What do you think -- not worth the time/money?

Thanks,
Jeff.

If you have the money, and you like the look its worth it. ive never seen a f3 with one but gregs (the same place that does gregs custom blinkers) will build you a custom one sided swing arm for almost any bike. not only that theyll make it longer than stock if you want them too or whatever. downside is they cost about 2000-3000 bucks. so like i said if you like the look and can afford it. itd deffinatly be an eye catcher. but realisticly i can think of a better way to blow 3gs on a bike. the other route is using a vfr swingarm which is one sided. but i heard theres a decent amount of modification needed to make it work, and in the end the gregs still look better and you can get the chromed or polished and theyre made of round tubing and not boxy looking like most swingarms including the vfr.

I hear you there. I could think of tons of stuff to buy with 2500 that would improve my bike way more than a single sided swingarm. Just thought I'd see what you guys thought... Maybe I'll look into the VFR mod.

Thanks

hey i've seen it done on a f3 before. they used a single side of a vfr. it is definately a cool look. http://www.bikepics.com/members/sack/98cbr600/ this guy gave me some general info when i put a vfr sss on my 1000 hurricane. bet he could help you out too.

thats a sweet bike. i especially like his front fairing with the two small headlights.

Wow. That does look good. Maybe I've found my first mod (after paint)...

Thanks for the link grwilson6

You could just buy the 900RR I have for sale that already has a single sided swing arm.....

I could just buy a blade - but where would all the fun be then - besides I like my 600 - good fun when it leaves the blades behind [:D]

clemson725 -> RE: Single sided swingarm on a 95 F3? (10/7/2005 1:00:19 PM)

Not this blade........

clemson725 -> RE: Single sided swingarm on a 95 F3? (10/14/2005 6:43:30 PM)

You should also be able to fit one from an NT650 fairly easily. I almost didn't tell you this because they don't come on ebay (or any where else I can find) too often, and I'm in the market for one for an 82 GPz550 project of mine. I'm also considering using one from a Ducati. THey come up fairly often, but you have to be willing to wait and watch as sometimes they get bid up pretty high, and other times they don't. Good luck on your project.

Not to sure if they have one that fits but McMoy Motorsports (www.tobefast.com) sells single sided swingarms!!! GOOD LUCK!!
