Hey all. I just purchased a '83 Katana 1100 (  ) and plan on some minor mods. Such as forced induction, fuel injection and changing fuel to alcohol. The thing is, I want to keep the bike legal. So I essentially must use a factory swingarm. Do any of you, wise, kind Sirs and Madams know of a swingarm that's a) long and b) easily fitted. Doesn't have to be for twin shock setup, actually monoshock is preferred. |

'forced induction, fuel injection and changing fuel to alcohol.' Minor mods??! why do I feel thicker and more useless every time I visit this site  How long are Bandit 'arms? Loads of people use those. |

What fuel exactly are you planning to use and to still be road legal or why alcohol?

As it goes I was out measuring up swingarms the other day. The 1100M arm is 590mm from center of pivot to center of adjuster slot. The slabby arm is shorter at 560mm i think. I also measured a braced zx9r arm and that was also shorter than the 11M, 540 to 560mm i think.
