I have a Teapotshock in my modded EF which was meant to house a Slingshot shock.
-
Originally they are anodizes, and very good too. I've seen Slingshot frames in a worse state then Slabbies after having pretty much the same use through the years.
Mine had been left outside for at least 5 years, year round, been on fire and attacked with spraycans in a former life.
I took it to a friend who cleans up lorries. Told him to use the stuff they use on the polished dieseltanks and an hour later, he turned up with a frame that truly could've been mistaken for new.
Note that this frame was looking VERY sorry for itself before we cleaned it up and it wasn't touched by anything but water. Looks pretty much the same today so well happy with whatever the stuff was that was in the pressurewasher

That's the one
-
Stock linkage and dogbones, with bespoke bottom mount on the frame works best. Ridden on with shorter dogbones with the linkage in the stock position on the frame; unrideable, and that's putting it mildly.
There's a few around which make what you need, it's pretty much bolt-on.

This one?

I came about halfway building exactly what you have in mind and only abandoned it because a cheap EFE came around. I'll drop anything for a cheap EFE.
Slingshot frontend slots straight in with no mods and 4.5 rear went in the stock swinger without too much hassle, which kinda means a 5.5 goes in as well, just a but of mix 'n match of spacers. I have a Teapot shock in my EFE/GSXR hybrid thing which was built to take a Slingshot shock, so that again means it should work the other way around too. With K-series shockers fitting in Slingshots, well, you do the math
If the K-shock you have is that much taller, you best get rid of the Teapot shock VERY soon, because it really should fit.The bike with the GSXR runninggear;

Yes, but my lines to YJ are shorter than most.
@YoshiJohnny; did you sell my motor yet?
-
As above
-
You need the ones that (originally) came with the carbs. You could try with the current 38- rubbers, but in my experience, you'll make your life infinitely harder doing it this way.
-
Just a thought , but are you sure it's a 5.5 rim ? Straight spokes suggest later 6 incher especially with that wide sprocket hub
Later Bandit 12's and RF9's had straight-spoke 5.5's.
-
Wheel, even though its as far left as poss, is still offset to the right so either the swinger is offset in the first place or something is not right here
Used bandit spacers and bandit caliper hanger is too wide and slingshot too small.
I might add; The swingarm you have is off a Slingshot, therefor you need GSXR spacers. Looking at the picture of the wheel fitted, you have too much room from the sprocketcarrier to the actual arm, with the wheel sitting too far to the right, as mentioned. I think you have Bandit spacers now and a B-swinger is wider (we're talking millimeters), so that's not going to fit. Get the GSXR wheelspacers and caliperhanger and try again.
-
Can't imagine the frames being a lot different between the 2, my guess is a straight swap. Just the bottom mount 10/12mm like any 7/11
-
Err, I've stuck 2 slingshot swingers in EF using the EF spacers and the only mods it needed was the welding the get the linkage to work. No machining to frame or swingarm to get central; sounds like somethings wrong?
-
Rebuilt the frontend in my EF start of this year with aftermarket seals. Now, after about 2k miles max, it's sprung a serious leak, both at once. I'll be rebuilding it again with proper seals (SKF green race jobbies) but might also do some work to the sanctions themselves; either recroming, DLC or Ti-Nitrid. But, there's aftermarket sanctions that would save me this headache; are there decent ones out there, others to avoid or should I just refurb the 20yr old originals?
-
Yes, same
-
There's loads of different ones , yet all fit any oilcooled engine, as long as you have the pickup to go with it. Usually the exhaustclearance is leading in choice of sump, with lines second.
-
With crosserbars; yes, with dragbars; probably not, but the difference to clipons would be very slim.
-
Slabby is the same
-
What size is yours Kristjan?
-
May I ask why? I've been running one on the Slabby for about 4 years now, never needed to charge it and it starts first time every time.
Cost in this instant is no issue; it needs to be light, small and strong, cost is totally secondary.
-
For the near future I will be running stock CDI, yes. Other than that, nothing (apart from the startermotor)
Currently leaning toward something like this;

Should be a doddle if you have the right spacers and caliperhanger. Have it in the EF, although I struggle with a 200-section tyre. Next time I'm getting a 190
