    I was wondering if anyone new if a 1993 te610 swinger will fit a 87 wr430?
    I've heard of and seen guys using the '90 and '91 te350 swingarms on the 87's
    I'm looking to ad a rear disc on my Supermoto build

    Thanks in Advance

    with a lot of work it can be made to fit, but it will take pretty much remaking it
    so no, yes I tried

    so they look right, but you need to confirm the linkage lines up and shares geometry
    I actually had a 92 610, the linkage ratio and centering was the actual problem

    this is the linkage listed for this seller, assuming it came from the same bike, I had an 87 frame and all the rear
    so took the 92 arm and with a little work fit it in the frame, then tried to tie the dog bone to the bottom mount, it did not line up
    then tried the shock, same problem, not saying you can't overcome this, just at what price
    also a friend brought up to check the linkage ratio if you plan to keep the Ohlins as they "might" be different
