    You've picked a nice chassis and engine platform for your cafe racer project.
    If you search in the past pages, you'll find detailed info about compatible swingarms.
    What else have you planned for your bike?
    Thanks for the response prd8r.
    Firstly i am doing the chassis work,
    I have got all the parts for the front.
    Had planned to fit 130/140/150 tyre on the rear but i am not able to fit in this swingarm. Dats y planning to change to CBR 250R Swingarm, I heard its best for customizing the rear of any bike but wanted to know whether it will fit or not.
    Can u tell me , at which page the compatible swingarm discussion is done ?
    Later on i am planning to fit RTR 200 Head and block kit after the chassis mod.

      After lot of research outside and in these threads , i decided to go for RTR 180 Swingarm.
      A mechanic told me that RTR 200 Swingarm will also fit if i want to go for monoshock but i didn't saw anyone saying about fitting RTR 200 Swing arm. Can someone tell me if he has used RTR 200 Swing Arm in Fiero F2 because i am in a big confusion now. If it fits i will go for RTR 200 Swing Arm.
      Also i want to keep spoke wheels but want to fit disc brakes in the rear wheel, can someone tell me which hub with the option of rear disc will fit in RTR Swing Arm.
      Any help will be appreciated.

        Hi Utkarsh. I guess you found the info here. It's on pg 16. Though I haven't changed my swingarm, the ones mentioned should be a good fit without too much mods. Maybe even rtr 200 might fit. But I'm skeptical about that as it has a slightly diff chassis from the fieros and rtrs. I haven't come across cbr 250 swinger swap till now. But I remember seeing a honda unicorn monoshock and swingarm set up on a fiero chassis. If I get the pic, will add it here. For your 200 cc engine mod, it should be decently easy to do. It's already been done here as you may have seen by gixxer. He's the resident fiero expert here.
        Ride it like you stole it! But buy your own helmet.

          Thanks for sharing your experience pr8r.
          I read about the swingarms in Pg 16.
          Actually the CBR 250 R Swing arm Wont fit because its totally different , even if someone fits , he has to do a big modification in the swingarm. I will post the pics.
          I thought it is impossible to fir RTR 200 Head and Block in Fiero engine coz it looks different from outside. After seeing gixxer's post , i came to know that it is also possible. Big fan of gixxer.
          He tries all the possible mods which can be done and shares it here. Big respect for him.

                The major difference between these two is :
                The CBR Chassis holds the swingarm from the outer edges but the Apache chassis holds the swingarm from the middle.
                Honda Unicorn, Hero Karizma, Hunk and Cbz Xtreme's Swingarm design is identical to Apache Swingarms . So we can swap the fiero swingarm with any of these model's swingarm.

                  My doubt is clear for swingarms now. But not getting any idea for which hub i can fit. As i want to keep spoke wheels but want disc brakes also on the rear.
                  Any suggestions for this ?

                    Hi, I got busy with the long weekend, so I couldn't check here. I've seen a few Impulses riding around with a disc brake set up on the rear. So, maybe that rear wheel hub might be the one you need. I couldn't look closely. So, of course, don't purchase it based on my opinion as it may end up wasting your funds and time. But try and take a close look as it might give you a better idea. Probably, the other tenured members here will have better knowledge. How's the project coming along?

                      Thanks for the reply pr8r. I will check for the rear disc brake impulse. I was also very busy from some days due to festivals and office targets. Therefore, didn't got the time to focus on the project. Will start again in a week or two.

                        No problem, Utkarsh. Sounds great. All the best for your project.

                                Hi. you can use Victor GLX gas shocks. They don't have an external canister. They look just like oil damped rear shocks. Check for the warning sticker. It will mention gas filling. These rear shocks are almost the same height as original stock shocks. They cost me around 1700~ in 2013. So, a pair will cost under 2,000~ now I guess.
                                Did you search for the original ones? What was their cost, if they were available?
