Anymore info George??

There’s a slabby streetfighter on Eblag at mo with a GSXR thou swinging arm & shock so a slingy is possible I guess.
I’ve asked him to send me some pics of how he got round the linkage issue etc -which hopefully he will - he said he obviously needed to get a few bits fab’d up to get it all to work.

It is possible to just drill a couple of holes in the 1127 cover to fit the chain guide, I’m sure the holes in the guide are threaded.
When I had a B12 donk in my slabby it needed a new cam cover but I could only get an 1127 one at the time & remember drilling it to fit the guide

PTFE on my Pingel too.
I also use a bit of cut & shaped bicycle inner tube to seal adapter plate to tank

Clive, the linkages & arms are different in terms of where some of the bearings are located - the 750 arm has a bearing on the knuckle mounting point, where as the 11 doesn’t - the bearing that performs this function is located in the big eccentric spacer ....... but yes, stick with the right linkage for the right arm & it will work.
I’ve had an 11 arm & linkage on my 7/11 for years.
You may want to check that the linkage has full travel when fully compressed, in relation to how you have your suspension set up & spring rate etc as the 11 linkage may touch the frame (below the the mounting bracket) on the 750 under full compression.
I have parts diagrams for both arms & linkages so you can see differences but they’re all on photofucket at the mo.
I can download them & email you them if you want or go on alphasports & have a look through their parts diagrams .

It amazes me the amount of people who whack bearings in and out cold. Warm the hub before you remove or fit bearings (boiling water is often enough and kinder to paint than a flame ) and stick bearings in the freezer in a sealed bag for 15 mins before you fit them.
This is the method I use, works a treat every time.

Mines sat at 220 mm - that's with 17's, shorter 600k4 forks & R6 shock mind.

Gray711 that GS looks very nice
Thank you, unfortunately it's sat under a layer of dust at the moment....

Dare I say it but Yamahaha forks are generally longer. I had a a set of FZR USD's in my GS 750 which kept the front at a good height. Guess it depends on what spec of forks you want. A stepped top yoke is always an option with shorter forks.

Yep that's me

IIRC, Don't think the standard one fits.
I ended up making one out of 6 mm stainless bar. It was quite a few years back that I did it & my memory is pretty shite ......
I believe you can also add a s/s ball bearing behind push rod (clutch end) to make up the length (oooerrrr) if you're original is too short.

Ain't rust is the new black .........
Its a talking point - as if this beauty hasn't got enough talking points already!!

Btw, can anyone help out with getting a number off the original bearing or some measurements. Would be hugely grateful ta.

Also, try Bob at Kent Bearings (01634 720444). Had good results from him when local factors couldn't help!
Cool, thanks for the heads up .....

Yep, 11arm needs 11 linkage due to the way the bearings are configured
