I was thinking I'd be able to fit a slightly wider tyre and a 15" one at that. Not too wide, the 'Cade only ran a 150 iirc. If the driveshaft line into the arm is in the same position on the Cade, as the 1000G, then the 850 might be the same. X-ref to what people have done fitting 1100 engines into 850 frames, example. Mix and match and file if necessaryThat part of the frame is unmodified, it appears to be a direct bolt in. I have a Cade final drive, I will have to dig but I haven't found the driveshaft, and I have no desire to cut one and extend it. Do you see any benefit to having this swing arm over a stock GS swing arm besides being different? It is longer so the rear wheel will be moved but I'm not an engineer so I don't know if there will be any significant benefit to the swap
If I can use a Cade arm and drive hub, I already had the 'Cade wheel and spindle, so it might turn out not to have been a waste of money after all. Trouble is, there is a real shortage of 'Cade parts here and best guesses have to be gambled on with some of the hard-earned cash, and it's a bummer if things don't work.
If you want to sell the Cade swingarm, final drive (and if you find the driveshaft, too), I'd be willing to take them off your hands.
