Slingy /Slabby

[fatblokeonbandit]

I know bugger all about slabbies, aprats from my Moto martin has a slabby swinger,, will a slingy one fit ????

Yes but the linkage (knuckle) is completely different. I did it by having another centre made up for the 750 slabby knuckle to fit dog bones. Needs to be specially hardened though shipmate

Yes I need to crawl underneath and have a good look and measure up, i see what you mean about the centre bit, cheers matey

Some people have used b12 knuckle but on 1100 slabby but is difrent from 750 (longer shock bigger knuckle). 

& mounting points on the frames are different as well.

I actually have an slabby 1100 swingarm on a shelf and 750J on a bike if you want to swap for a 750 slabby swingarm, but I’m after the longer 86> version.

In case that works for you…

Cheers for offer, Johnny, but ill try the modified linkage first, i don't want to increase the wheel base, ill measure it later to see how it compares with my Teapot and B12
