    GS750 Swingarm into GS550e frame

    I have a GS550e frame with a 650e engine fitted, I have a 750 swingarm and back wheel with all its spacers etc. Will this swing arm and wheel line up ok with my frame & engine?

    I'm curious to know as well... I had some wheel alignment issues where the wheel in a 77 GS550B was almost rubbing on the right side but the chain tensioner marks on the dropouts were telling me it was off the opposite direction. It's been laid down before, so I assume it's bent. the 550B is drum rear, so I will have to weld on brake stay mounts on the bottom, but the 550E should be rear disc. I don't have the 550 here to compare to this 750 swingarm currently.

    Also have the top end to make it a 673cc...whaddya know!
