    Does anyone know the dimensions of a XJ900s Diversion swingarm. I need the width at the pivot. The length from pivot to axle. Also does this swingarm share the same pivot bearing as other XJ's? Has anyone ever tried swapping this on their XJ650,700,750, 900(old) bike? I have a good setup right now, but I'm looking into a longer wheelbase and it seems this might be the longest? I'm not sure if the older XJ900 shares the same dimensions?

    edit: I'm thinking it will need to be cut and shortened and have the bearing housing rewelded on the width of the pivot to fit a j650-750 frame.

    My recollection is that the Diversion 900 was a clean slate as far as the frame and swingarm are concerned. That is not to say the divvy swingarm won't fit though.

    Cool, thanks. Maybe some of our UK & Euro members can shed some light on this? Any of you guys have a Xj900S?

    I guess I might have to be the one who figures it out? It would be nice to know if the xj900-xj900f swingarms are the same length as the diversion? I would save $$$ not having to import a divvy swingarm to The USA.

    Looks like I found a guy overseas that fit a divvy swingarm to a XS1100. Now the question is the Xs1100 frame wider at the pivot than the XJ650-900 frames?

    I ended up buying a Divvy swingarm and shaft. I'll let you guys know how it turns up. It's being ship from overseas, so a couple of weeks.
