Yes you can :thumb:

Mine had a 750 front end on it when I bought it, not sure if it's using the 660 or 750 yolks though :scratch:

He has also done it on one of his 3AJ`s as well.

Thanks for the replies lads. Front end swap is on then. What about the swingarm from the 750 would that swap over aswell.

The 750 uses a different linkage system where the shock passes through the swingarm so it is not a direct swap.

When I get chance I'll measure the width of my yolks so you can compare them to standard, you might not need new ones.

FYI. this looks like a 245mm front disk from a 750 :sherlock:

The 660 has a 280mm as standard
