Opinion polling for swing arm swap/wheel combos

so u have an 07 police motor? what frame ?

oh no, its a 2007 GSXR engine, 77 1000A frame

oh sorry i misunderstood. what motor, 1000cc water cooled ?

Water cooled, currently a 600, I'm not sure if I will end up with 600 or 750 as final engine though (mounting is identical on those two). 600 is about 115hp, 750 is 135hp... give or take.

I'm using the 600 for mock up, but may just leave it in there. I have a 1000 for going fast, this bike will be just for cruising. My wife won't get on my GSXR1000 (~200hp), this is a compromise

:laugh:

Keep it twisted bro.

Edit to add: the seizing issue is something I was just unsure of... I have seen on a few occasions sleeved stuff like this (not particularly bike axles) that seized together due to uneven expansion/contraction rates and chemical intolerance between two metals. even with a thin oil coating etc... I'm not a pro on stuff like that which is why I asked on opinions on it, but ultimately I decided even if its a 5% chance it is too risky since it is in an application where I could not simply press it out and start over... it would be permanently captive between those eccentrics Bovine that hapening only when two different materials are used.If in your example you use a good quality steel,I dont beeleive it would.I t is called "dialectric" and there is a grease on market for that.

Eh? Dielectric grease is used to prevent corrosion on electrical contacts, and as a non-conducting heat transfer agent. Perhaps you are speaking of Never Seize?

Steel on steel don't seize? I see you've never tried to remove a steel class 3 hitch from the class 3 receiver after it's been in there several years with no periodic grease.

Steel on steel pretty much welds itself together unless there is lube to stop it.

Superbovine said :......that seized together due to uneven expansion/contraction rates and chemical intolerance between two metals ! And I agree with him 1000%. Two diferent materials does not "breed" the same way.Every posible caracteristic is diferent.Expansion,stretch strenght,pressure,etc.Every metal we know today differ from the other in some way,somewhere are close in one or two category but still diferent with others.For that reaso they have diferent names. Every friction makes voltage.That voltage is very small but still there. That kind of voltage is called galvanic voltage. I beleive you can recall small elementary school test with hair comb.After puling it up and down over a shirt it became capable of lifting small pieces of paper from the desk. Or another even beter example in every boat marina.Every boat with an engine should have zinc protector or someone call it zinc Anode. Nothing special in it.It is just piece of zinc with hole on it so you can screw it close to your propeler. Propeler let say is stainless,bearing could be stainless too,but housing is aluminum.Two very diferent materials. Generated galvanic voltage will eat away aluminum through time.For that reason we have to instal zinc next to,cause zinc is much softer,it will take that role on itself,just becouse voltage HAS to be discharged. Steel you were wright, that grease is isolator. Some factories even write on the back it is recomended for the hitches,I would say for very same reason like boaters.If you have dialectric grease on hitch,you have only phisical contact between two pieces but not electrical.Maybe a bit long but I had to. Hey Steell what hapened to your "girl" she is frozen!
