Thanks, Kato and Darren - I have just been looking at the 916 sbk manual at how this would all bolt together. It looks like an interesting project while I have everything apart but there is a lot of justification for purchasing a second-hand sbk frame I guess if I go down this route.
The S4R swingarm could possibly be easier but the swingarm cost is prohibitive. I really appreciate the point raised regarding the 50mm length difference though. I once put a longer swingarm on a bike (not massively longer - it was a Hayabusa swingarm on an SRAD) and it totally changed the bike. I must admit I like "sharp" handling but not 100% keen on twitchy.
What I am doing is some "mathemagics" really and working out costs that I can easily justify. The bike needs a rear wheel due to damage and ST4S or other 5 spoke wheels are quite expensive. It appears considerably less expensive to go with sbk wheels if I am starting from scratch. I guess this is why I am throwing so many ideas around at the moment.
Thanks again,
Alan
