I've got a set of 2008 yamaha R1 fork and swingarm that i plan to mount on my cafe project. My questions are mainly about the swingarm and any problems that might be encountered. the pivot will have to be customized as the R1 is a larger diameter but i was curious if anyone has swapped similar parts (modern sport bike) and has any advise that may save me headache and $ that might not be necessary. Also I've had the notion to flip the swingarm upside down because it seems that the shock mount is nearly centered in vertically speaking and the sprocket etc can be moved to the other side (i'll already have to make custom mounts for the shock-to-frame pivot and i think i can make the brake mount work. I am an experienced fabricator and mig/tig/smaw welder if that changes the advice at all but I'm new to the motorcycle chopping game... Lets have it and Thanks guys!
