remove the axle and flip it around, you'll need to remove one hub to do it. What swingarm are you gonna use?

Hi,
Im going to use a old school suzuki 900r engine, If I take the axle out and flip it around can a use the stock swingarm ? IF so what will happen with the rear disc brake caliper? I can weld and cut just about anything some minor modification's are not a concern, What do you recomend ? I looking for a afordable solution, Thanks for all help in advance.

The stock arm will work but may not be ideal as you are probably putting 110+ hp out with that motor, cut off the threaded pin that retains the caliper in place and weld it in the appropriate place on the other side.
I'm not sure if the arm is exactly symmetrical with respect to the position of the lower shock mount cuz you might be able to just flipping it over and the caliper pin and the front chain slide bolt hole may be in the right place by simply flipping it??? don't know for sure but it's worth a closer look.
good luck
