On 02 will fit. You will have to use 95 swingarm bearings. But there is no way a 250 will fit in the swingarm.

Huh. Failing to see the attitude in that text. But for a 1%er, surely you have some hard core bikers that know a thing or two rather than poking around the likes of an online forum to puff your chest. Heaven forbid someone not at your level hurts your feelings by suggesting that a 250 swing arm wouldn't fit.

Doh..... The little girls thing is part of his signature. Not pointed at you. Relax, he´s trying to help you, but with that badass 1%´er stupid attitude your days with assistance from anybody here could be over.

Even if it does fit to the frame the primary drive needs to bump out too.

if the swingarm doesn't have an offset like this...you will never get the chain/belt over far enough to clear a 250 tire...
