Yes it is longer, I dont remember off the top of my head, but it requires a 107 link chain.

Well i have finished it :D Just got to get the suspension sorted as the rear is rock hard, but from the little ride i had today, its running ok, no immediate signes of reduced power due to the 2 into 1 exhaust, roll on the summer :D https://s26.postimg.org/xsxp111d5/IMG00076-20111204-1042.jpg https:...

I got the bearings for it, i took the ones out of it to BRT Bearings round the corner from work and they sorted me out, out of interest i asked if they could supply ceramic ones, at £70 for one bearing i think i'll pass

looking good fella, have you sorted out the front forks yet or is that next on the to do list? i was seriously thinking of bidding on the 2 into 1 when i saw it, jut so i had the option of the both systems. but it looks like its gone to a good home :lol: if i was wanting to do the same swingarm con...

Update, took delivery of the 2 into 1 exhaust system yesterday, fitted it, sounds absolutly mental :D Gona have to get the jetting set up as no doubt it will run like an absolute pig. https://s26.postimg.org/lgq79so4p/IMG00062-20111029-1108.jpg https://s26.postimg.org/pr4v5dt7t/IMG00064-20111029-111...

I had the exact same problem after I fitted manual CCT's, re-setting the tension of the CCT's sorted it for me, the cause being cam chain being too tight. Yep sounds as though cct too tight. They get tighter as bike heats up, so could explain the problem. Did you do them up finger tight only? Yes f...

The rear has most deffintly been pushed up, with the old swing arm i could flat foot with legs spread a bit, now its on the balls of my feet when sitting on, so it should turn in nicely now.

Thanks for the welcome guys

Spanish, At the moment I have the Ohlins that was for the bike originally, but if i cant find a way of shortening it by 10mm it will have to change, as it is with no rider sitting on it, the engine tie bar sits on the exhaust system, with rider on its spaced out by 10mm, im hoping with a softer spri...

So this is as far as i have got with the swap, i do have the exhaust system back on, pegs and brakes etc, so the pic is a little out of date, http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b177/Gaggeanu/SP2%20rear%20end%20swap/IMG00013-20110903-1510.jpg If any body has any idea where i can get some high mount li...

Hi Guys and Gals,

Iv had a firestorm for 3 years now, 98 in red ( the fastest colour), I'm currently going through the SP2 swing arm change, and many more ideas in my head, I'll put some pics up later of how far the swap has gone.
