I believe the earlier 'K' slingshot frames were lighter, the 750 has a shorter wheelbase too. the later M and N model frames I believe were a bit heavier

The shorter wheel base was due to the swing arm, yes?

The 1100K swingarm was also shorter than the L, M and N, but still longer than the 750.

Added the bit about it being longer than the 750.

The 1100k arm is 10mm longer than the 750l/m arms .The 1100l/m/n arms are 10mm longer than the 1100k arm.

fronks are also shorter on the 750s are they not?

Yep,but only because 1100 fronts have top mount clip-ons,750 clip-ons sit under the top yoke

I have a 750l(along with 750l wheels and 750j/k bodywork) front end on my 1100k,they are dropped through the top yoke by 30mm(this improved the handling) .DSC_0031_zpsk3ddrtiu.jpg :)

So whether I use a 750 or 1100 frame, as I'm using. Single sided swing arm, there will be no difference, correct?

Only if you use the 88/89 750j/k frames,they are physically smaller than the later frames. The 750l frame is the same dimensions as the 1100k frame,but the 750l frame weighs a fraction more because of the different swingingarm bolt and castellated adjuster.The 1100k frame also has a removable top shock mount like the 750's(the 1100l/m/n frames don't have one,it is fixed).750m/n and 1100m/n frames are the same. And the 1100 fuel taps don't hit the rocker cover/Y hose fitting because they sit a fraction further back than the 750 ones(I got round this with the 750 tank on my 11k,by turning the tank rubber around on the front mount and a couple of washers on the rear mounts) :)
