Swing arm conversion help...

#1 (**permalink**) 05-31-2005, 06:03 PM

I've read a ton of posts and none of them list everything that is needed to convert a 00 to a 02+ swing arm. What all would I need other than the swing arm and longer chain to put a 03 swingarm on my 00 RC?

You need a : sleeve; 02+ pivot bolt and nut; and 02+ castle style nuts. And if you run the same brake caliper, you'll new the 02+ caliper mount (bracket)

OK so from what I've learned/read you need a special sleeve for the swingarm to work. Does anyone manufacture these sleeves? I'm suprised nobody sells conversion kit minus the swingarm.

Do you already have the swingarm? If not TECH51 has the newer swingarm with sleeve for sale. check it out. http://speedzilla.zeroforum.co...41500

Thorsten sells the sleeves. http://www.honda-rc51.de/

Also I think it was Cozzb that can make them also, he's on this forum alot also.
