: Anyone ever seen this single swing conversion?

I got these pics from SVrider.com. I emailed the owner and while waiting on response. Anyone from here know the difficulty on installing a '93 VFR single swingarm on the SV650. He acted like he still had some suspension woes to work out on the bike. I really like the look. I wonder what the weight difference is? I have heard single sides are usually heavier for all the bracing required using only the one side. If anyone has any experiences or thought would love to hear.

Here is the pics of that guy's bike.

Contact Jim Davis at Motomorphic in the San Fransisco area. He does these type of SV conversions, and probably did this one.

EDIT: kippie, do you know how to contact Jim Davis? there is no contact info on their website.

The number for the shop is 707.763.4295, jim owns the place so he should be easy to find there.

This one is European, more specifically Italy. So I dont think he did the conversion, this guy is doing it on his own and as of July was still not mounted properly. He used the vfr single side swingarm for the conversion. I was just wondering if someone has done something similiar. I will glance for Motomorphic products. Just looking at ideas for a future project.
