so if I change the swing arm I would also need to change the oil lines as well then?

ok so last question is what other advantages does the newer swing arm have aside form looking better?

Yep you will need the new oil fittings.

The new swingarms are lighter and stronger.

Do take note, you need to use the regular XB swingarm, not the Ulysses/Lightning Long swingarm. If you want the extra wheelbase of the Uly swingarm, you will need a new shock and belt too.

I am not really concerned with it being longer I just like the way the newer one looks.

If you plan on powdercoating it I have one I'm willing to get rid of really cheap. It has a small bit of rash on it.

It's not going any where. I bought it for a project but I'm not going to need it now. I believe it came from an 07' 9R
