Hey folks

So I've got me a '01 M2 Cyclone I'm going to streetfighter up, I've also got the swingarm, wheel & brake off a 955 Daytona I've been holding onto for ages, having missed a perfectly good opportunity to fit it to a mate's ZX10R 'fighter.

Anyway...

I reckon it'd look the goods on the M2, but the problem is the right-side drive trannie. The 955 swingarm is a single-sided job, but that single side is the left side. Dilemma.

Can these bikes be converted easily to left side drive? I don't want to piss about with a jack shaft, mostly because I think they look shite but also because I doubt the swingarm will be long enough.

I'm new to the Buell twins, been a Jap four-cylinder man all my biking life. Now I'm paying for my indiscretions. :lol:

But then the wheel would be upside down ;)

:hehe:
There are specialised workshops that can turn the wheel 180 degrees to even out that effect ;)
