    Hello Bikers

    I have a Xj600 51J 1986, is there anybody who knows, if you can make a 100 % swingarm and Shock swap.
    without to make changes to the frame,welding etc . maybe some newer models ,perhaps XJ 600 DIVERSIONor others, there is to many seals and bushings who needs replacement.
    Here in Denmark there is so many rules, so we must follow the rules we are subject to..

    Best Regards

    Jan Poulsen from Denmark

    If you're doing a swap in an attempt to avoid the cost of new seals and bushings; that's a false economy. Any used swingarm is very likely to need many of the same parts replaced.

    I think I looked at the xj/fj600 assembly once and was shocked (ha ha) by the complexity of the linkage etc... I doubt therefore there's any simple (no fabrication) exchanges that are possible..
