Slingshot 7/11 Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Let me start by saying hello ! I started a 7/11 or more correctly 7/12 project back in November when I found a very neglected 1989 GSXR 750 for sale. After picking up the GSXR I found a 1997 Bandit 1200 for sale complete, running and in fairly good shape. The Bandit has donated the engine, carbs, wheels, brakes , forks, switch gear and wiring harness. I bought what I was told was a GSXR 600 swing arm, later to discover it was actually from a 1998 GSXR 1100 and quite a bit longer than the original, which brings me to my question, what other options are there for braced, short ( 750 length ) swing arms that will work with the Slingshot chassis? I had spacers machined up for the swing arm bearings and used the later larger axle with the Bandit rear wheel and it all worked out fine except I don't want the increase in wheel base. I was curious if an SRAD swing arm will work? Thank you in advance for any help. Quote
Captain Chaos Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Hi and welcome, cool project. '94-'95 (pre-SRAD) GSX-R750 swingarm is the same as your 1100 arm but shorter. Quote
