Swing Arm upgrades
Does anyone know if there is any different between the 2007 swing arm and 2008, I know that the axle is in metric now, any other changes, I have one and want to install it on my 2000 RKC with Sta bo bushing kit.

RE: Swing Arm upgrades
the rear brake ad (for the brake) is different I believe. I do not have a 08 swingarm so I can not say for ure but the guys who have changed their <07 over to rear brembos say they have to do a modification. Ask someone who has actually done it @ I have not, sorry I can not help you more.

RE: Swing Arm upgrades
Howard, thanx for the reply, \\; I did call Sta-bo today and was told I can use the 08 swing arm with the III kit from them. \\; probably have to machine the 08 nine spoke wheel to be able to fit my belt pulley off the 2000 RKC. \\; I wonder what I would have to do to the output drive to run the Isolator drive that is already on the 08 wheel. \\; I know I would need a narrower belt.

RE: Swing Arm upgrades
I do not think you should be machining wheels. \\; I think the IDS is direct bolt up to the wheel. \\; There is no difference in the way your 02 wheels are from the 08's. Again do not buy extra add on until you check it out for yur self. \\; I was doing a project with Mike from Lattis Hd on a 08 RK / Jims 131 CI &\\; my 16" C/F wheels. \\; There is no differrence in the wheels (outside wise) 00 ~ 08. \\; Check out the proceedure HERE to R&\\;R your swingarm \\; anything I can do to help, call. \\; Hope this helps

I meant the output drive pulley on the transmission, \\; the 08 is a 6 speed and my 00 is a 5 speed, \\; will the pulley off the six speed work on the 5 speed and still have the alignment to the IDS pulley?

I posted some photos earlier this week on a rear trans pulley change I did. \\;\\\\\\; There should be no problem but I did not do it to see if there is problems. \\;\\\\\\; Your trans pulley is full width, no different on 5/6 speed I think, again, I did not do it. \\;\\\\\\; I have a 6 speed and you would need to go with a 137T 1" belt. \\;\\\\\\; Yes, I did do that. \\;\\\\\\; The IDS is a direct bolt on. \\;\\\\\\; I see no problems but I DID NOT DO IT so check it out for yourself. \\;\\\\\\; God luck

RE: Swing Arm upgrades
Well I checked on the hub pulley, \\; the trans pulley is a 32 tooth for the 2000 and 2008, but the part number is different. \\; So your thinking that I could change out the belt to 1 in. and put the 08 tire and IDS along with the 08 swing arm and I should be ok. \\;
