Will CBR400 NC23 swingarm bolt up to a NC27 CB1?

The NC27 CB1 is a nice bike, but i've never liked the steel swing-arm.

Anyone know if the CBR400RR NC23 (tri-arm) swingarm will bolt up to the CB1 NC27 (1989/90) without mod?

Thanks!

The CB-1 board is a better place for these questions mate, much more lively there than here, here is mainly frequented by VFR and CBR riders.

The '29 arm fits with new spacers, but ideally you'll want the matching wheel or the chain line is off, and it's real hard to line back up (you'd need a 5mm offset sprocket IIRC) and even then the wheel is off centre.

Thank! You are very kind.

I'm also a member on that forum, so i will post on there :)

I've seen the VFR400 single sided unit put on the CB1 as well...I would imagine that would be even more work!

Take care,
