Townsend, I am also in Florida. Tampa area to be specific. I share your pain! This summer has been so miserable! I have only been riding a handful of times :( The good thing about Florida is, riding weather never ends!!!! I am going to clean op the headers and removed those tacky reflectors...
Puttin, here are the only pictures I have on hand. These pictures are before legitimately mounting and signal mounts. The light is a Polisport Halo. It's actually a DOT approved supermoto headlight. The night time visibility is surprisingly good. I will take some new/updated photos tomorrow...
Raja, There is wiring attached, however, the "connector" piece that plugs in has been cut off. You will have to strip the wire and crimp on a connector.
Major, I love this bike. I love how "industrial" they look. You can see the bike's components and I love it. It looks like a machine rather than a plastic toy. I hate when street bikes get too cluttered with plastic and flashy parts. My bike originally had the silver swinger and rims, however...
TownSends, the rear is painted lettering. I didn't know if people painted both tires or not. I see a lot with just the rear painted. I do have bar end mirrors (not in the pic). Awesome suggestion in regard to the reflector. I actually thought about getting a decal reflector (silver) to replace...
Well, I finished the transformation. However, it's only been a week and I'm itching for something to do. Do you guys have any suggestions -- other than pipes? Minor stuff that looks good or improves performance?

I do have axles for the swinger. If necessary, we can...
I just put the 04' hugger on the new swinger and it looks like it should bolt right up. I don't have the hardware so I couldn't actually bolt it down but it looks like everything should line up perfectly. FYI I took the hugger off before the swap. It had nothing to do with the new swing arm.
I don't have a rear hugger, however, others have said that it should swap over as well. Other than that, you are exactly right. Main pivot, shock, and brakes all switch over without issue. You just need the axle and adjusters. I actually have the rear hugger laying around. Check back later and I...
You don't need much for the swap. You will need an 07' swinger and you will also need an 07' rear axle & hardware. There are several other Yamaha bikes that have compatible axles. In fact, my rear axle came from an 07' R6S. This is the part number: 5SL-25381-10-00. Make sure that you get the...
Re: Rear caliper/brake issue AFTER SWING ARM SWAP
The swap was actually better than anticipated -- other than the caliper issue. I LOVE the way it looks on the bike! In addition, it was relatively easy to do. Nothing about the swap is physically difficult. There are a ton of "little" things so...
