Will a VFR swing arm fit the VTR...? If so is there a link somewhere...?

Yes it can be done. It's a huge job but it is achievable.

I put up a thread in the work shop showing shock sizes and the Hagon was the easier one to use

Yeh I'm about :lol: Not sure if there s a thread here or over the pond with a complete how to. Plenty of snippets though. But as others have said it not cheap or easy. I don't know much about it as it's something I have not explored.

There's 2 highly detailed threads on superhawkforum.com with lots of pictures.

It involves custom linkage brackets and dog bones as well as a custom exhaust as the shock has to be moved and gets in the way of the rear header.

Other than that's its mostly bolt on if you have the rear brake and sprocket. Kinda a PITA to get perfectly on center though.

It's purely for looks and does not offer better performance. Its also a bit longer than the standard arm
