Slingshot frames

[Radds]

Can anyone tell me the difference between a Slingshot 750 and 1100 frame? Is the steering geometry different etc?

 

Cheers

Anyone?

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

Afaik, the M/N were both the same, 750 and 1100.

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

yer, think it was around 2 inches shorter

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.

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

This is correct

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

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

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) .

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)
