I know this topic has been covered somewhat but I need to know how to get a double sided swingarm onto a VFR. I recently joined a group of riders all of which are owners of Repsol replicas. I want to build my own instead of taking the easy way and buying a factory version. The idea is to take a VFR and shave as much weight off as possible, put the double Side Swingarm in and have my own V4 Honda Repsol replica. I have heard a CBR954 swingarm will go on with little modification?
Maybe swap in the inline 4 engine while you are at it, then it would be just like theirs. Don't take me too seriously, it's your bike, do what you want with it, but the VFR's 2 most iconic features are the V4 and the single sider and you want to make it more conformist. New wheel, swingarm and shock will set you back over a grand without yielding much other than a visual change. I've seen guys with CBR's that swap the VFR arm on to be different, do yours up to make them jealous. You could do a Castrol RC45 replica, stick to the bikes heritage, and keep with the groups oil company theme, double win! When you stop people will notice yours for its differences instead of the other clones. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but somebody was going to say it.

Extreme Creations just made a new batch of kits to convert a 5th gen swingarm to a single nut Ducati wheel with Brembo brakes. You can use the kit with 848 hubs for 5.5 inch wheels or 1098/1198 hubs to convert to 6.0. Lots of sexy 6.0 wheels for 1098/1198 available. But then you'll have to do something about the front end. '04-'06 R1 forks with custom triples from our own SebSpeed would round out the build. 2ff7e9595c
