You'd bloody hope it never is. Possibly the worst handling motorcycle on the planet in standard form.

I would think most engineering places could figure that out for you, it doesnt look massively complicated, though youd be up for a cert I think - no problem if the work is done by a qualified engineer though.

head down to your local eng. place and have a chat, if they cant do it, theyll be able to recommend someone who can.

Find a swingarm off an early Yam IT400 and have that grafted in - they had a similar setup, but with the spring/damper unit under the tank

I have ridden my rigid shovel from wellington to invercargill no probs at all, but I do have a fox mtb shock under the seat and I think that makes the difference.I think a good engineer should have no probs fabbing that, might be pricy though.

In standard form ... an XS650 might. But this one has been lightened/modified.
