    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.

Toss us the FB page if you can find it.
Next questions are;
-is this swing arm oem length or extended?
-can it be made for a mono shock retrofit?{added subframe attachment like they do for yami viragos conversions}
-price/availability?

...this would be nice for those of us who still own a 1000G.... :cool: ....{I'll shaddup now...lol}

Heres the group, and yeah im trying to dump this ranger in the next few weeks.. i want ricks 1000g... like bad... minus that red fairing haha
 
I'd assume oe length, but having a drive shaft built isnt difficult these days. Hell with how custom that is you could probably adapt other makes of shafty and find even a 5.5.. im being a little bit over the top.. but honestly its not that hard to do.. the worth of doing it though..
 
I think I came across that swing arm last winter, looking at ways to improve my 1100G.
That would help the swing arm weight, but it does nothing for all the weight of shaft and gears.
The unsprung weight is the ring and pinion gears, and are much heavier than a sprocket and chain.
 
That's not really a sad truth, Brandon. The G will never be a true lightweight, but having shaft drive is something to be enjoyed for many reasons.
