Swingarm swap question

I find myself in a position to have to put a new swingarm on my 01 ZX12R...my question is this....

Will the swing arm off a newer B model fit on my A model bike? and if so , is it a direct swap, or do I need to do modifications?

I lost a cush drive bearing and the cush drive moved out and the sprocket nuts took out the swingarm....so I am redoing the rear end of the bike....


This includes a complet cush drive assembly for my Marchaseni rear wheel, with bearings spacers and sprocket and chain....not taking any chances when I put it back together, will put all new swingarm bearings and wheel bearings in it

So if anyone has any ideas on where I can get parts for that wheel please speak up.....I am not having much luck finiding the parts online.....

It will fit bolt pattern wise in the frame, no problem!!!

But you need the dog bones and shock link from the B model swingarm!!!...If u dont have them, then ur rear height and shock possition will be different than 2000-01 OEM spec...
