The bracing is originally on the upperside on the Busa, since I will use twin shocks it need to go on the underside.
Up side down on the bike.
On the TL1000R the bracing is originally on the underside.
That makes things easier.
Since the Busa arm is not in line you need to cut of some off the aluminium on the pivot, left side.
I chopped off 6mm, but its more left to take.
This is for to move the swing to left,in order to have the rearwheel in line.
The happy swing chopper has been here.

This is also the point I decided not to use the Busa arm.

So, it is very easy to convert the pivot bearings on these Suzuki arms to fit the original 16mm kawa pivotbolt.
On the left side it is the originally Kawa swingarm sleeve, 25 mm in diameter outside.
That fits straight in the Suzuki swingarm sleeve. Using 25mm pivot bolt size.
How easy is that? :lol:

So, over to the TL1000R swing, bought on ebay UK, and painted with some epoxy paint, I will of course sandblast it and Gun-Kote it GOLD. :woohoo:

To make the TL1000R arm to fit on this frame you need to grind off about 4-6mm on each side of the "ears" on the frame.
