stock swingarm is better...it'll look too mismatched...plus honda swingarms are easily the cheapest route and there is nothing wrong with them...i don't get the one sided arms and why people have boners for them...i think wheelie gene's build is awesome, but i wouldn't do it unless i had the part lying around...
fair comment but the RVX is not single sided , its bling dudeBalaclava wrote:stock swingarm is better...it'll look too mismatched...plus honda swingarms are easily the cheapest route and there is nothing wrong with them...i don't get the one sided arms and why people have boners for them...i think wheelie gene's build is awesome, but i wouldn't do it unless i had the part lying around...

i don't know what you see in that thing it looks like a bicycle swingarm...honda swingarms are for dirt bike riding and when properly finished are wayyy blingier then that swingarm...just my oppinion...your bike will be some sort of crazy mixbreed... ...i'm just fuckin around...but it's mad ugly...If it was between that swingarm and a single sided vfr swingarm i'd go with the vfr...

Single sided arms carry far too much weight to make them anything but a novelty. The rxv arm does fit quite easily and actually looks the danglies when fitted..even more so if the frame/arm are coated satin blackBalaclava wrote:i don't know what you see in that thing it looks like a bicycle swingarm...honda swingarms are for dirt bike riding and when properly finished are wayyy blingier then that swingarm...just my oppinion...your bike will be some sort of crazy mixbreed... ...i'm just fuckin around...but it's mad ugly...If it was between that swingarm and a single sided vfr swingarm i'd go with the vfr...
There are a hell of a lot of parts that are interchangeable between CRf and sxv/rxv( SXV forks/radial brakes? ) and I know it's all down to personal taste but at the end of the day every single builder on here has strived to make their bike 'different' in some way...it's all part of the fun of building one
BTW the RXV swingarm is also made for dirt riding and side by side make the Honda one look tired and dated
EDIT..forgot to say..Oggo, try here http://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/foru ... y.php?f=50 for a used one

Fair enough...please post the necessary measures it takes to make this swingarm fit...as in bushings, spacing, machining etc...thanks, hope it works as good as you figure it will....
