Hi All,
I just joined and am embarking on my first hybrid project. I have a 31k ypvs and am looking at doing front end, rear end and engine upgrades.
I have owned 4 ypvs 350's in the past, but not for 25 years! and just bought another one
Last year i did a complete nut and bolt build of a triumph t595 with a 2005 engine, and 1050 s3 usd front end
Any advice on
zxr400 front end
and back end conversions.....which back ends are simplest, cost effective, and effective?
Looking for a decent set of pipes ( not oem )
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Welcome to the forum! Once you reach ten posts you will have access to the Classifieds section which you should find useful. TSA pipes are popular but you will need to book in early if you want some making as Kenny is a very busy man |

I'm not too bothered about it being unique...although it will be of course...so I got hold of a vj22 swing arm...anyone got patterns for parts needed to make it work,..do you need a different shock?

You can buy a kit from Nkracing
£125 for banana arm type
£225 for braced arm
You can then use the Rgv shock as the spacers are in the kit
