T595 Swingarm in2 a 1996 Daytona 1200?

Erm... sounds like a pretty cool idea.

Has anyone done it or know if it can be done? Thought I'd ask before digging myself a hole 1/2 way to Australia!

Cheers - Addict

swingarm

I looked at this mod for my 97 speed triple.Apparently the 595/955 swingarm is too wide to fit in the 900/1200 frame.The VFR 750 swingarm is a pretty straightforward swap or so i`m told.There is also a way of fitting the 595 rear wheel to the VFR hub,therefore retaining the triumph look.It is something i am looking at on a project bike in the future

Thanks for the info.

I've been doing a bit more digging, with the help of a few Rat.Net members and will come back to you with any new info.

I can see that you're in/near to Swansea... keep in touch and perhaps we can assist each other with tips and info sharing along the way, as needs be.

Cheers...
