Okies...so i found an 1100 swingarm..(thanks Mike!) This 1100E swingarm will (hopefully) be going on a 77 750B ...Couple questions...

One) The arm doesnt come with the caliper braceing arm...will one from either my 77 or my 80 parts bike work?? I know the 1100 swingarm is longer, but is the caliper arm also?? Or did they just move the mount point on the swingarm back??

Two) if it is NOT the same..could someone please measure their 1100 caliper arm and let me know how long it is??

Three) Besides wallering out the frame hole for the bigger pivot and collars, what else is involved in this conversion??


Thanks!!
Josh
 
13 1/2" center to center on my GS1000 (with an 1100 swingarm). My GS550 is also 13 1/2".
 
Danke 8track..yer the shiot sir!! SO this 750 one should do the trick yes no?
 
Yes indeed..13 1/2.. i could have guessed..but after my last assumption with swapping model parts, im not going to take anything for face value..lol

It'd be a Guiness record stoppie thats for sure...lmao... If it didnt work, i still have two perfectly good 750 swingarms too..hehe..Now...the math part...two inches of length, plus a 41 tooth 630 sprocket...when i get to that point ima need some help for the correct chain length..
 
Mike i didnt see but does that swingarm still have hard brakelines on it or had they switched to all rubber at that point...the 80 750 arm i have has all rubber line on it..
 
got em...just put em on last night actually...dunno bout em..need some nicer ones i think..these play some crazy tricks..
 
All rubber I tink ..

You want new ones too .. by the way.

(I secretly believe that rear brakes help when used as needed)

no buzzies...and yes i do need to sync my carbs...get to that in the week. She's waiting, albeit impatiently, but i havent the manometer and Steve is perhaps helping out with that later on next week. Yes, i do plan to purchase me own. One or two tools at a time boyos...The mirrors actually bend light..think they are a bit concaved...cheapies, but they were free, so i cant b1tch too much. They at least LOOK better than those big old dog ears i had on her before.
