Thanks guys!!
First You have to narrow the Busa arm (5mm/side if I remember correctly, easy to measure) . Then You need to make some bushings inside the bearings in the Busa arm to make it smaller for the bandit swing arm bolt. Thats about it.

Then the suspension.. I used the link from Busa. You need to narrow it also and and use the bearing from the Bandit link.
Cut the welded threads from the centerstand attachement point.
I used new bearings in the swingarm where the bones bolt on. I got the bearing from a local hardware store, suzuki bearing was $$$$$ (actually €€€€€€
) and turned a small pipe inside the bearings.

The last AND the worst part: You need to make a new upper shock mount to get the shock in correct position. I didn´t want to weld my frame so i made an aluminum mount which bolted on the original mount.

Thats about it.. But if I wanted to do it again, I´d use new Yamaha R1 swingarm, it looks great!!
Hope this helps!

The swap is mostly quite simple, but getting the shock in the right place is not fun.kokomochandler said:

not that im in over my head but damn i got myself a pain in the ass now. swing arm came in. all looks good but i got no one to make me new axle blocks so looks like im need a junk bandit swinger and cut the ends off and weld them on. the swinger was listed as a 750 but it was a 1000 which is a 1/2 inch wider . i was just going to make new slider blocks with a machined recess but i have no machiners around here. and any ideas for a half inch or so longer axle ? i have no idea how to find one we have no bike junk yards to take a ruler to.
