Good recommendation, Strima.I'll be surprised if you can't get help on there.

Failing that though, try the Streetfighters Owners Club:

its been done a few times on b12's so can be done on a 6 the problems are .........
the width of the arm at the pivot
bearing sizes mean you will need new bushing made
getting the wheels aligned requires machining
new shock & linkage mounts will be needed

thats just the basics so if you cant do the work yourself & are skint i'd say forget it for a while & do an easier swap ;)

I had this thought back in 2000 when I had me Bandit 6 , I ended up having the standard arm braced with tube steel cos it was a way of getting the look I was after and wasnt a great deal of cash involved as I designed it and gave it to the fabricator to make and weld .

Wasnt one sided but got people asking about it .
