NO IT WILL NOT BOLT UP. Look in the road course section for pics.

I build them, if you can accomplish a bolt up I'd really like to see it.

It will bolt up to the frame but not the shock as there isn't enough clearance. If your willing to run a strut it would probably work. Also the sprocket alignment is a little off and rides against the outside of the drive. I think you may be confusing an unbraced 600 swing arm with the braced 750/1000.

Trust me.......it will work.  Ask Canadian Mike.  He makes a living do it.

 I bolted it up today. I had to use the 600 pivot but other then that it fits great. The top box is removed and it is underbraced so  that may be the difference  canyon carver was talking about

Im glad you got it on there.  That top brace only makes a difference if you are trying to get it real low.  The busa swingarm has a upper brace on it too so why would a upper brace on a 1000 arm make a difference.

We found the same thing when we initially started the 750/1000 conversion. Unfortunately if your planning any canyon or track racing you'll notice that your shock travel is limited with the 600 bell crank. Once we modified the swingarms to accept the Busa bell crank it made a world of difference in adjustably and performance. If your looking for dragstrip performance you shouldn't have any issues with your current setup. If at a later date you want to upgrade let me know.

Be sure to check your chain alignment.
