09 ZX10r has shorter swingarm plus i like the looks of the 09 one also
more nimble in corners & put an 09 zx10r rear shock in it plus 05 06 zx6r linkage & dogbones & 09 zx6r hugger trimmed down to fit
all the other stuff like rear wheel , brake bracket & caliper off the 04 fit the swingarm well

you have a Crim .... in Tassie .... ON POWERS .... with kishy strips!!!!! (would have let you off a bit with Corsa's!!) :shock: :oops:

May you hang your head in shame young man!!!!! :roll: :roll:

I'm thinking you need to offer a ride of your bike to young Mr 'Saki' so that he may graciously replace said pesky kishy strips with a sticky balled/feathered edges..

Alternately fly Wattie down .. Apaarantly he and the little fatman in the kishie zone don't get on (fatman loses everytime!!) :D :D :D
