I can't believe it! Seriously!
So I went back out and played in the garage for a little bit this afternoon to take some measurements of the swingarm. The factory RE swingarm is exactly 8 1/2" wide where the pivot bolt mounts to the frame. The Suzuki swingarm?
8 19/32"!!!! Not even an 1/8" wider than what is already there, practically a
PERFECT fit! Also, not going to get the 5" stretch that I thought I was going to. It's just shy of a 4" stretch from axle to axle. Not quite as long as I was hoping, but 4" is better than what was there. The large bracket on the bottom of the swingarm is going to get removed. The set up had this super goofy triple hinge shock mount thing going on. Complicated and unnecessary weight, so I'll be mounting the shock to the bracket on
TOP of the swingarm and the top of the shock will be mounted under the seat.
