Single side swing arm for 78gs1000???

[Curbchek]

I found a single side swing arm from a honda with tire and wheel. I have a 78gs1000. It would look pretty sick on there but what would be the modifications I would have to make?? suspension, brake, frame, size of tire??? I would appreciate some feedback

hope over to http://oldskoolsuzuki.info/ they are more into extreme mods.
the wildest around here is fitting a mono shock to a gs1000

HEy Ryan, I take offense:

my engine guards and decals are pretty exotic

Just off the top of my head I can see where you would need to heavily brace the pivot area of the frame, rebore the holes the pivot bolt fits through to allow for a bigger bolt, make room between the frame rails for the pivot on the swingarm, and figure out the shock mounts.

A single sided swingarm requires the same mods as a regular monoshock swingarm to work - they are no different as far as shock mounting is concerned.

Agreed about OldSkool though - they have done it a zillion times.

In the forums there's a few SSSA mod threads.

A single side swing arm would be fun to work with. Do the calculations, and all..

Dream of mine is to get a hold of a Tesi 3D chassis, but ya know....

ya! just checked one of those tesa 3d the other day. pretty wicked. I guess its a little weird going into turns because of pressure and no forks, pretty wicked though.
