That would be cool

Subject: Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: One more problem Triumph Sprint, is a popular one. I think you can reasonably buy one new. Single sided is the way to go IMHO, my VFR is so easy to deal with. Tire changes are 30 seconds. Chain adjustments are done with a spanner. Brakes, and sprocket changes are stupid simple. On a chain drive it is hands down the best for maintenance alone.

I always thought that's the kind of mod I would do on a 750 that has been crashed or abandoned. Javier.

(thank god and Feynman) I was referring to a company that had a whole kit including a replacement swingarm possibly a sprocket output adapter tire and all the fixings like I bought for my CBX It was worth a try. I love my nighthawk I am just a bit of an aftermarket junkie. The first thing I did was to replace those rectangular reflectors on the sides of the bodywork with ones that have LED’s inside them and they look great.

Subject: Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: One more problem I don't think you're going to find a "kit" for that. Not to say it can't be done but there is a good bit of engineering needed to do suspension swaps and have them be safe and handle correctly. For instance on my Suzuki GS1000 I can modify a Bandit 1250 rear suspension, tire, and brake setup to fit by shaving the swingarm pivot, having custom bushings, and shock mounts machined. Swing arm length and angle are critical for proper traction, and are tied to the power output of the motor, the swingarm pivot location, and front end geometry. Id suggest you do some reading on the physics associated with motorcycle design to determine if it is something you really want to delve into.

I had a Honda CBX and I changed the rear swing arm and a much wider tire and it was great!

Now, The 130/90-16 is much cheaper to buy. Can I go back to the 130 with no problems and use the same rim.? Or has there been a change made and I should use the 14/90-16 thanks for the help.
