79 gs1000 swing arm in a 78 750?

[Guest]

Have the parts available. Looks as though the rear is longer and can stuff a wider tire. I?ve also got the complete front fork assembly as well. Just don?t know if it?s a direct bolt on or a can of worms fabrication wise. Thanks for any help.

The pivot bolt for the 1000 wing arm is larger diameter than the 750. The 1000 arm is about 1 1/2 inches longer also.

Don?t mind the length much. I guess it?s a drill and rebush kinda deal then. What about the front assembly?

[TeamDar]

The 78 750 will have ball bearings in the steering stem and the 79 1000 will have tapered roller bearings. The longer swing arm Will require a longer chain.

If you're going to put the 1000 swingarm in then why not put an 1100E one in there instead? It will fit anywhere a 1000 one will, they are interchangeable.....
