    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

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?
 
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.....
