Can I stretch the inside pivot area of the frame?

I dont need the 1/4 per say but it would have given me a tad more room to work with on the swingarm.

Bwaaahahaha!:laugh:

Hey that powder coating is like rock hard! It's better than stock paint! I was beating it up today (by accident) and it didn't even show any blemishes..

Start twisting that frame a little when youre trying to push it over to fit that swingarm,youll find out how rock responds to being twisted! :sick: :woohoo:
Great thing about paint is it can be fixed without having to completely strip the frame

Don't worry, the R1 swing arm WILL fit and I think it will look bad ass in the end. I don't think I would recommend it to others though.

I think it would turn out bowlegged if you stretched it anyways.

r6 swingarms are cheap

and narrower :whistle: ,

just sayin,

I thought about doing this as well and divised a means to keep the pivot area in check and spread that area. As stated, you would have to cut and weld new cross members, etc... I don't really think it would be that bad or cause much issue if it was done thoughtfully. In the end, I trimmed my ZRX arm the 1/8" it needed as it was just much easier. Good luck.
