Slabside 1100 rear shock

Recommended Posts

Ive been looking around for swingarms and I can get a decent one cheap from an water-cooled 1100 with damper/lever/dogbones/rear axle/pivot axle.

 

Will it fit? From what I can rest on our interchangeable chart it should. But will it in the real world?

First thing to do is assemble the linkage on your current set -up correctly.  It's a faf, the Slabbie 750 and 1100 stuff looks the same, and bolts togelther, but they're all subtly different so not all combinations work,  People have run 750 arms on 1100 and made it work extremely well, Manx gp bikes type well.  I've only ran an 1100 arm on a 750 frame, and I wasn't really happy with it.

See if some one has an 1100 arm would be my advice.

I have found a good and sound 1100 arm that appears to be straight. But insanely expensive. Actually all I have found on the net have been very expensive.

 

So if I could upgrade to an better swingarm for the same or less money, I would opt for that

Maybe try a wanted ad on here. Prices tend to be cheaper on here than on eb@y :).
