Hi all. Just bought myself a 1000rr rear shock and gone to bolt it up but I am having a problem. The gas canister is resting on the brace of the swing arm impeding the movement of the arm.
I have a wn frame with the braced arm using all of the original hardware with the braced arm Inc dog bones.
Has anyone fitted one and know how to overcome the problem?

Nothing in mind specifically at the moment. Just toying with the idea. Have you got any pics?

Hi again,
Has anyone put the tail from a different bike on their 750? Is there a subframe and fairing that will work with little modification?
-
Cheers for that mate. Out of interest would you recommend just Inserting the smaller spacer into the larger one? Would it be a good idea to weld them together?

In my scineraio I have a frame, which according to the v5 was manufactured In 94. The hole diameter for the swing arm spindle is 20mm. The rear swing arm takes a 25mm spindle.
In order to make the swing arm work with this frame will I need a 20mm spindle and some sleaves made to make up the 5mm difference at the bearings? Alternatively will the spacers from the wn have the same external diameter as those from the wp, if so I'm assuming I just swap my spacers for those ones.
In addition I also need to account for the difference in size of the spacer inside the swing g arm between the two bearings. Similar questions as above. Does the wn have the same external dimensions as the wp spacer with a 20mm internal diameter?

Someone might jump in and correct me here but I believe the wheel and caliper are the same. You can check if you search for a micro fiche for your bike on Google (check part numbers are the same).
You may want to check the rear shock linkage attach to the swing arm in the same way as well. Micro fiche will probably also answer that question.

Any other opinions on this? I have been told by my local oracle of knowledge not to bother changing the airbox as well. Just wondering if anyone has done it successfully.

Lol sorry new phone. I meant is anyone using cone or conical filters and do they have any running issues when using them?

Is anyone using conical or cone filters on on their cars instead of the fugly airbox? If so do you have any running issues?

Hi all,
Im reassembling a crash damaged 750 wp 1993. In the crash the headstock of the frame deformed so consequently I've replaced the frame with one from a different year. The swing arm bolt, adjuster and castleated nut on the new frame fit to the opposite side of the frame compared to my original. Now I assume this frame had a banana swing arm originally because my bike had the braced swing arm, so I'm assuming the difference In fitments is due to this?
Can someone please confirm whether I will have any issues fitting my braced swing arm to this frame?

Thanks mate. Looks like a pretty cool site. Only issue is the bike is in bits and I haven't even ridden on it yet so I have no idea regarding what values to put into the graph. Just looking for some recommendations really

Hi all,
I'm in the process of a rebuild on a 93 750. While it's in bits I was considering trying different sprocket sizes with a view to modestly increase acceleration. What do you guys run and to what effect please?
