nhchris Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Does anyone know if it is possible to retrofit a the longer 900 GT swing arm on an FJ 09? I think that would be a mod as valuable as a suspension upgrade. cb 1968 Triumph Bonneville 650 1971 Norton Commando Roadster 2002 Harley 1200 Sportster 2003 Honda ST 1300 2016 FJ 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member betoney Posted December 4, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted December 4, 2018 I can’t think of any reason that it wouldn’t work, you would obviously need a longer chain but everything should fit. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buggy Nate Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 The linkage geometry might be different too, because of the longer length swing arm. Maybe check the part numbers for those too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Was thinking that a GT swing arm would be a good mod but surely the costs are prohibitive... Gonna be a while before there are many used examples available... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duhs10 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Looking at the diagrams... the vast majority of the parts are identical.. I'm sure i over looked some, but it looks like the swing arm #1, seal guard (chain guide) #11, case chain (chain guard) #13, rear fender #18, and bracket #25 are the only differences (along with associated fasteners). reference #s are referring to the GT diagram. So around $700 all in for new parts.... an i would try the old chain guide and guard before ordering the new ones might be close enough fit. '15 FJ-09Tracer 900 GT '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras...
