I've done it with 2010 r1 but that swap isn't for thr light hearted.

Looking at that swingarm your in a bit of trouble with the upper bracing. If you flip you to have to plan mounting the rear brake upside down, if possible. Then you you will custom Fabbing for that. Keep in mind some rear brakes only mount a few ways.

Do us a favor. Mount it normally then tie a piece of string to the shock mounts with a nt on the end. Then take pictures. Need to see where the shocks hang relative to the swingarm.

No problem being light hearted, I was a Millwright for almost 20 years.

I'll drop some plumb bobs after I get it on my table and have the bushings for the swingarm made.
