Does a hypermotard swingarm bolt onto an S2R?
Does the hub fit?
Shock and ride height should drop in too?

I'm pretty sure it's a direct fit.

I know I'm going to regret asking this but....... why?
I've been wallowing in my own chaotic and insecure delusions.

a friend of mine wanted to change his Motard swing arm from my S4R and when we laid it up next to his bike (my old swing arm off) it didn't look like it would match.  If I remember correctly there was some adjustment to the shock to be made but send Webspoke a PM just in case and ask.

I wanted to switch just cause of looks. i dont like s2r swing arms and there was one on ebay for $100 at the time

i need to revive this....

Can anyone tell me the diameter of the swingarm pivot on the S2R1000?

I assume the hub for the S2R1000, hypermotard and the older desmoquattro SBKs have share the same rear hub correct?

Im pretty sure i can slip a hyperswingarm right onto my S2R an call it a day.

edit: found the answer. everything seems right, except the HM swingarm is a narrow case. under 6" where the S2R is just under 7". too much work to get the wheel and chain aligned as well as the shock. etc.
