swing arm replacement

[billy]

Hello Folks,

Will a xl650 swing arm fit a xl600vr?. Oh, can you weld swing arms? ( thou I think its gone past welding!)?

Thanks

Bill

dont know if the 650 will fit. . . but the 600 s/arm is steel, so yes it will weld.

Thanks AIRWOLF, I'll keep checking ebay to see if one pops up!

Cheers

There's plenty of 600's being broken on fleabay,the 600 and the 650 have a different linkage so it might be a bit tricky,I'm not sure about dimensions etc,people have fitted @ one's with some mods. you should be able to pick one up cheap-ish.
I wouldn't weld it,depending on where the weld is the arm is under quite a lot of stress and a fractured weld at the wrong time might be the difference between staying on the bike or not especially on a bend. Could be a life or death thing.

Swingarm from RD03s fit but you need other bits from the @ to get it to work. On the plus side the conversion allows you to have a sensible system of chain tightening
