a different swingarm will probably throw off the geometry of your suspension. i know swapping shocks and forks can alter ride height and affect cornering. why the 04 swingarm? cool points? a 600 apparently does not have the power to need a braced swingarm so they did not come factory with them. the 750 and y2k 1000's did.
well i read this and i was wondering what the benifits of it is. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=255851 but seeing how i will be taking the bike apart(r.r frame) this winter i was thinking of upgrading a few things. i also dont know if it will make a difference, so i asked if its worth it.

SRAD 750. Check the tyre placard (sticker) on the side to see what tyre size it says to run.

Yep looks like a 750 srad swingarm, the +00 swingarm has the welds in a different place

If it says 190, it's a 98/99 SRAD 750 swinger.
The 96/97 was 180 section rear.
At least in Australia.

You sure? My 97 had 190 (Michelin reccomended) on the sticker.

what year is your 600?
GSXR750 swing arms 61000-33E10=pre 2000(X) 61000-3500 (Y) 20mm longer
I changed my swing arm on my bike 1998 Srad, I fitted a 2000 (Y) 750 swing arm, (check the pic in bike of the month) I only did it for look's, the main difference was the length of the swing arm, the 2000(Y) 750 swing arm was 20mm longer than previous models, so it altered the ride height by the same amount "check the high heel side stand" (I had a 20mm bit welded onto the bottom) also the rear brake torque arm needed to be changed because the bolt mounting point is in a different place & finally the chain needed to be longer, 112 teeth I think, that's about it, I also put a Nitron shock on & she still rides great, I don't know if they changed the length of the 600 swing arm after 2000, I doubt it, though, I hope this is of some help...................

I stand corrected by my learned friend.
I was always led by my dealership that the SRAD of 96/97 were shod with 180, and the 98/99 a 190 section.
My 1996 750 (bought as an ex-demo bike in July 96) had a 180 section Dunlop rear on it.

This is a popular mod for these bikes. 190/55 is the way I go about it now.

Yep. Bigger footprint than the 180 too.
