    Rear brake pads.. How to replace?

    What is the width of a 240 swing arm ?

    I am looking at another swing arm but the guys doesn't know if it is a 190 or 240 swing arm. I measured the width from where the tire would be mounted and its approx 10 inches wide. 190 or 240?

    Seems a bit suspicious...

    This might be too late but I live next to this store. It is a newer store. If you search Hayabusa in craigslist in the State of VA you will find their postings all over. I am going in there tomorrow to see what they sell.
