    You can make almost anything fit with top hat spacers. There can be a LOT of faffing to make them work correctly though. The slabby linkage would have to be swapped out and you would need to spend time working out your rising rates etc.

    Look at the build threads on here though, lots have done it. @clivegto has done on his scratcher albeit a 750's, @Leblowskiswapped  a different swingarm into a 750, I'm fitting a slingshot arm in my 750 and @GeorgeEI7KOhas a B12 arm in his. So its well do-able

    Anything will fit if you've a big enuff 'ammer Dave. B12 into slabby.... A piece of piss. My 16 year old lad would manage it. They key to the slabby is to retain the standard lever and shock length. I've a shock outta an aRse6 from a yammahoohaa in there. Works reet. And bin the off centre spacer for the big bearing on the lever and get one made with the hole centered.

    You must love travelling up and down the country in shite weather when you're knackered. xD

    You're fooling no one, I bet you're working away like a daemon on the Slabby, ferry and hotel booked and you'll be there with it on the stand. 

    I'm a maybe/probably/possibly at the minute Paul. I need to speak to them about the trade stand then decide if it's trade, OSS or neither because I'm working on the draw through.

    To my eye the ET was a bit of an odd fish on the Stafford stand in that it's a nice classic Suzuki. Plenty of those about at the shows, even an identical one (bar the exhaust) on the Air Cooled Suzuki stand. So I'd rather be at a show with a bike I feel better suits the OSS/modified vibe. Hopefully the draw through may be somewhere near at that point, so we'll see how it goes.

    I haven been out near it since before I left for Stafford. Been on nights since I got back. But im off from tomorrow morning for 10 days or so. Ive a pile of radio work to plough through to generate some cash. My target is Stafford. All ahead full!!!!!

    I think the 'Stacked' Lights are cool. I'm going a slightly different route with the Lightbar nested underneath for main beam. The two spots will be low beam and they have the angel rings in as well which will cover the park lights.

    He likes bandits xD he got this very very cheap and is getting a stash of parts for it for next winter ISH, he's going to ride it as the 600 for this year maybe some of next, then a b12 motor goes in USD front end etc etc, he only paid £200 for it as a complete bike, as a non runner but it only needed a battery and choke cable.

    'kin bargain of the year!!!!!
