Swingarm?

Hi.
I wounder if anyone knows if there is any differens betwen the 1986-87 vfr700F/750F(f2) rear swingarm and 1988-89 vfr750F swingarm. The stock on a 86-87 is quit flexy, wounder if they stranged it for the 88-89 model as they did whit the fork (37mm tube up to 41mm).
And I`m talking euro version 88-89 vfr 750F, NOT vfr750R (rc30).

found a 88 swingarm that come cheap....

 

Hi, the part no. for the swing arm assembly is 52100-ML7-690 for the FH 87 model and the part no. is 52100-ML7-920 for the FJ 88 and FK 89 models. It should fit as first and second group of numbers are the same and the third group I believe it is mostly used to indicate various suppliers or improvements for the same part. So regarding whether it has been reinforced I can not say, but if it is cheap you could take a chance and buy and if you dont want it then resell it.

 

Thanks for the info. I think its its proberly modyfid (reforced). The stock of the -87 is flexy. Askingprice is 70 euro for swing, 30 euro for the linkage, which should rise the rear slightly when mounted on a -87 FH. The parts are from a FJ-88.

I have long looked for a better swingarm for the VFR, the Honda VTR sp1/sp2 swings look like they have a same kind of fastner also, but don´t know if its wider betwen the mountings?

Anyway I proberly go for the FJ 88 swing then.

 

Let us know if it is reinforced when you get it thanks

 

Ok. I let you know. Will get it soonest middle of next month as I will pick it up when I have the way by then anyway.
If its not reinforced, I got a tough that if I have 2 I can try to straingh the other ala sp1 style...still have a stock one...

 

I got last price today. I get the swingarm and linkage + rear brake calliper holder and tourge arm for 80 euro!

 

Was going to say they didn't make one, but realized it was a non import to the US thing, so you guys go and have fun..isn't this place great or what..

 

I piced up the swing today. Didnt find any difference to the one I have now

And the linkage seems to be the same. The swing also have date stamp 86, same like mine, but the letters wher different. It made me think if its a 88 registred 87.... I will try to get that info.

GOT CONFIRMD TODAY ITS A 88 REG 87

Anyway I will keep the linkage, and try modyfy it to get higher ride hight.
The braker took back the swing and I got the linkage for free as he had wrong year metion.

 

Finaly found a -88 swingarm (for 70 € whit linkage) and the only thing that I found diffrent from my -87 is 2 holes on upper brake side, like for a diffrent brake horse mounting. The main linkage is same as my -87, as the mesurments of the swing (including thickness of material). :ballchain:
The only missing part now is the "dogbones" betwen main linkage and frame, I still dont know if they are diffrent on a 88-89 than my -87. Mayby someone that has one here can mesure the lenght of it fer me? From what it looks from a pic I found on german e-bay, it might be shorter...
Here the pic of the -88 linkage whit "dogbones", will post a simalar pic of the -87 linkage as soon I get a pic taken...

Just wondering..if the SSSA from the newer RC30 would work on the older bikes anyone know?

 

Newer RC30 ? I only know of one RC30 (1987 to 1990) and they all had SSSA, But dont know if they work on a VFR.

Editin becorse I just saw you have a VF, not a VFR, so dont know what will work on your bike...

Anyway finding a RC30 swing is hard and cost many $$$$$$$.....
