hi, new to the forum.looking to put a 2002 sp2 swing arm on to my sp1,is there any place in the uk that can supply the sleeves and can any one offer any tips or advice.

One thing that comes to mind is that you are putting a longer SwA on a bike that has a bit larger caster than the SP2, which apart from frame stiffness differences will slow the geometry down a bit. It may actually be an improvement in some areas but take away some of the good characteristics of the SP1. Maybe raising the forks up a bit may help but keep playing till you find your personal settings.
I don't know, but is the pivot shaft, width, and SwA internal diameter different from SP1 and SP2? I wonder if we can find out from parts fische.

Thanks zerogara for the advice, i think the weight saving is about 1kg and you are right it changes a lot of the geometry, i am running a ohlins rear which as more adjustment on it than you can get your head around.dropped the font forks through the yokes about 8mm,ohlins internals and a moriwaki shock linkage,the bike handles great but you are always looking for more, weight loss is a main concern also running carbon air box a huge saving and a 520 chain conversion and a must have a power com 3 usb
