Theres nothing special, they just are for looks.

I think they originally started using them on endurance bikes so the could change tires quicker.

the 05/06 zx6r swingarm or the 09zx6r swingarm should swap out with the 07/08

also the zx10's should be able to, if you wanted the 190 tire, but you would have to line up the sprockets with some custom work

Would you gain anything by going to an 09?

just a different look.. is it that common for a swing arm to bend though?

The 2009 ZX-6R swingarm uses many of the same parts as the ZX-10R; both left and right inner plates, the left outer plate, rear stand bosses, brake caliper stopper, chain guard and swingarm pivot shaft

Its lighter
Slightly longer
More flex
just plain better


other than that not really
