Guest TexasDawg Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hey all, want to say thanks to the board for all the info I collected from here and a few pics to show what I did with it. I always wanted a VFR with a single-sided swingarm, but ended up with a CBR1100XX Blackbird. So, I did the next best thing and combined them. Took a '92 swingarm and grafted it onto my '03 Blackbird. Enjoy the pics and again, thanks for all the help. IMGP0702.JPG IMGP0709.JPG IMGP0706.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TexasDawg Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Thanks for the compliments,, the stock CBR1100XX chain is a 110 link and I put a 112 link on it with the new swingarm and a 113 would have been better. I almost couldn't get the 112 chain on it. So best guess is wheelbase is about an inch and a half longer or so. The bike is an '03 model and the black color has some metal-flake in it that doesn't photo well. The Blackbirds only came in one color a year here in the U.S. I put the brakeline inside the swingarm after reading about that mod here; it turned out good. I need to get a new rear rotor cause the one that came with the swingarm is just about worn out, so if anyone has one that's good for sale ,let me know via PM. I have alot of the build pics if anyone is interested. Just post what you want to see and I'll see if I have the pic. I tried to document along the way. Thanks again for the help and if your in Houston, let's ride,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again for the help and if your in Houston, let's ride,,, I would love to see some pics of the install. What was involved in getting the swingarm installed? Was it a simple bolt on with the same bushings etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
