    83 GS1100E Swing arm Pivot Bolt Question

    Does anyone know if the pivot bolt will be too long or too short if installed on my 1979 GS750? Anyone know where I can get an 83 1100 bolt and nut?

    Yes the bolt is too long and the threads dont go down the bolt far enough. You can add to the threads with a die and cut the bolt off shorter. Or you can use the 750 bolt and have a sleeve made to adapt it to the 750 bolt.

      Where would I go to have a sleeve made? Any idea how many extra links I'll need for my chain?
