Anyone working on kawis or experimented in fitting an 09 rear end to the 03/04 frame or know if the spacing is same or different? i know the 03-08 rear ends are the same and can be interchanged without modding the frame, swingarm or linkage..... anyone know if that is the case for the 09/10 rear end?
got one that i want to throw on this 03/04 frame. just learned that the brackets for 05-10 brackets are interchangable.
if no one knows ill just go at it and post my findings

We just put an entire 08 R1 swingarm/rear wheel on a gsxr 1100 streetfighter. The swingarm had to be narrowed and the shock mount is off center. What a pain in the ass
But PIMP
