NC30 to NC29 swingarm swap

[racesupplies]

Could be a whole new market there,go slow bits.

So about how much more will it weigh compared to the nc29 swingarm? How will the handleing be affected, and how hard of a swap is it?

[racesupplies]

Dont know,is it the right length? Would the shock need respringing,valving etc?

[Cammo]

Someone on here fitted an FZR400 3TJ double sided swingarm to an NC30 (true!) and the NC30 swingarm setup was lighter than the FZR400...

Can't find the thread sorry.

Personally I think the nc29 and nc30 swingarms would weigh about the same amount (plus or minus a few hundred grams).

What was the verdict here?

Would the NC30 swing arm fit straight onto the NC29?

Not a straight swap.
NC swing arms take a lot of fitting to anything else due the the vertical shock position of the NC.
This is due to the V 4 motor coming back further than inline engines.
You have to move the upper frame shock mount backwards so need good engineering skills.
