Slingshot swingarm in Slabby frame

[Rene EFE]

I've seen it done before, but never took much notice of how it was done. Is it just swapping the lot over including linkage, or is there more to it?

Plan is to fit a 750L swingarm into a 750H frame

Shock linkage is different - i think there was an adaptor available at one time but can't remember who from.

In width?

I've got everything kicking around in various places but the frame is away to @Leblowski for weldding so can't check it myself atm. I'm inclined to choose the Slingy swingarm because the setup is a lot more straight forward.

I've looked at this, and you'll need to do some welding of the frame to take the rocker pivot.

Jos Hammer runs an L/M set up on his Slabbie, so I guess he'd be the man to ask.

Ah, yes, thanks

And about the welding...

Will everone stop cutting up 750 slabby frames.

Was speaking to Tony (Cosmo) the other week & he mentioned he was using a later arm in his slabby. 

Curious to know how he solved the linkage issue, he said he cut the front off both arms & welded the slabby front to the later arm, thus keeping the slabby linkage & pivot set up as is.

That;s A LOT more work than what I've got in mind and if that really is the work involved, it's not going to happen. It will be a track/racebike so stresses will be a lot higher than on the road as well.
