i jsut spent a hour looking on search and did not find what i wanted so here we go

can you put any diffrent swingarm on a 2002 curvy sv. if you can were can you get them.

what do you mean by different swingarm?? if you mean off another bike, then you can. depending on the amount of work which you are willing to do to the bike. single siders have been done, braced, gsxr etc. on the sv the swingarm os most capable. its only changed for aesthetics.

Why would you want to?

Easiest and quickest is to fabricate one, a mix and match made out of a SV and ZX6R swingarm.

I really can not see the logical performance benefit you will get.

JMC and Metmachex do bling swingarms for a curvy. We were seriously looking at getting one, but the cost was prohibitive. Besides the curvy swingarm is lurvely. Polish it if you must

I want an RGV full stop, swingarm and the rest!!

Then shoe-horn in an RG500 engine.

Um, yea...swingarm changes; possible, but why? The engine dosn't overwehlm the chassis really

We looked at buying one of those, but just couldn't justify the expense. I also wanted Harrison billet brakes

Dirtydog had a JMC on his curvy.

We actually thought that the Metmachex swing arm would suit the curvy more.
