Has anyone here heard of any US owners doing a single-sided swingarm conversion with VFR,Ducati or Triumph swing arms for an S-1. | ||
| Joesbuell |
Thats my next major project  | ||
| Blazin_buell |
Jodie , I've always loved your XB conversion and even thought about doing it too. That swingarm alone had to be a pain in the ass to convert. I even talked to a guy who says he could make a single sider for the XB wheel. That way I could go ahead and do the frnt end as well. | ||

BTW ,how much longer did that swingarm make the wheelbase and was it a noticeable difference. | ||
| Joesbuell |
It is now around 1455mm but because the rear ride height being raised and the 120-65/17 front Michlin Pilot I notice no difference, other than the fact that it's better better ground clearance and better rear shock design rides over bumps much better than my underslung oil leaker! | ||

Jodie , didn't you have a thread on your rebuild 'cause I couldn't find one? BTW what swingarm and wheel are you gonna try for a single sider. | ||

Looking for info on extending 98 S1W, have extra swing arm to make extension, need to know about aftermarket products and specs on shock position. Any info on project appreciated. | ||

what did you do with the oil on the single sided swingarm? if your using a new swingarm its not gonna have the oil tank in it | ||
| Blazin_buell |
Jimbo I'd think you could use the same shock location with a stiffer spring to make up for the extra leverage of the extensions. T.F. We're talking about tuber swing arms not the oil carrying XB swing arms. | ||

ah, my mistake. that would be an awesome conversion. post lots of pics | ||

I just want a long swing arm on my short frame! --Sean | ||

like this?  | ||

Ok....so where's the erl hidden at? I'm not into the gangsta look but that 'bolt looks pretty cool. | ||
| Texas_firebolt |
thats what im wondering. found this pic on google but no info on it. think they definately got the look they were going for. you could probly gut the tail section and custom make an oil tank to fit. run custom oil lines and all. my thoughts... | ||
| Thespive |
No Texas, that is awful, lol. --Sean | ||
| No_rice |
if thats the kit im thinking of the oil is in the swingarm still. they built tank in front of the tire | ||

Tim, where would be the room needed since the jack shaft is there? | ||

I have a Ducati swing arm I'm waiting to put on mine... I was about to start the project, but then realized the wheel i purchased did not have the same hub dimensions... and never bought another wheel to replace it. | ||
