VFR 800 VTEC SWINGARM

Hi matured VFR riders,

I have a simple question about "interchangability" of swingarm between VFR 800 2002-2011 and new VFR 800 2014- ?

I like older model much more than new one, for me it´s more sporty shaped, but new model has some very nice details and cocretely I´d be interested in changing new swingarm to older model.

Thanks for your posts ..

Hi and welcome.

Knowing Honda, there's every chance it would be a direct swap. All you need is someone close to you with a 6th Gen, a workshop with tools, and a mutually compatible weekend... swap 'em over. I have no doubt many 6th Gen owners would jump at the chance.

If you like your rear wheel more than the 6th Gen wheel you'd have to look into swapping the axles (or entire hub/eccentric assembly) but again, most likely the same dimensions.

Thanks for the answer. 4 years ago I was the owner of the 6th gen VFR but something flew through my head and I sold it. Many time since then I´ve asked myself why I did it because good vibrations of the V4 remained inside me. So now I´ve decided to buy another one and just in advance I´m thinking about a couple of possible modifications. On ebay I´ve seen an arm from 2014 model for not that big money so an idea was born :-)
