Has anyone put a Xb swing arm on an M2 before? I know it will take some modification, just wondering if there is a thread somewhere., |

Why ?, the xb swingers have been known to crack along the welds, and they certainly dont look any better. But its your bike and "the eye of the beholder" etc, good luck |

You will also lose the ability to adjust your belt tension - the XB swingarm is a fixed-axle-position setup. Not to mention, it's a wet swingarm and holds the oil tank for an XB. That feature would be wasted on a tuber, unless you want to remove the stock tank for some reason. Going to a late-tuber aluminum swingarm would get you virtually the same cosmetics, but keep axle adjustment capability. And, it's a bolt-on. |

I want to do it, so I can relocate my rear shock. I am not worried about the belt, I have every Buell belt in stock. So finding the tension shouldn't be any issue. To do the shock I will need the oil in the swing arm as well. I haven't 100% committed to doing it yet, but I figure I am re-doing the whole bike anyway. |

I am doing it just working on getting the spacers done rich if you find anyone willing to make a set lets double up. I have the best reason for doing it anyway. Because I want to. |
