    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.

Okay. I have a Canadian-model '86 gs750 (same as gs700).I have a line on a late nineties gsxr600 rear end (swingarm,shock,wheel,etc).I would like to know if anyone would know the width of the frame at the pivot point. The seller says the width of the swing arm is 9 1/4". ???Too wide?
I'm not affraid of 'massaging' things to make this fit,but more head-ache than it's worth?
BTW, my bike is currently 2hrs.away,or I'd measure it up for myself-save me a drive,please!:D
 
The front pivot tube on a srad swingarm is very huge in diameter.
I would try to get the distance between the swingarm pivot bolt holes and the rear bolts on the crankcase.For the width it should be close to your bike.You can PM djee here, he's fitting a 1991 gsxr swingarm on is gs750 (1985??).He may have the measure you need.
