Slingshot swinging arm into slabby

[clivegto]

Any one done or seen a slingshot or b12 swinging arm fitted to a 750 slabside with out moving the mounts on the frame.

 I had thought about doing it with one of mine, everything looks fine apart from the rocker mounting to frame is wider on the slingy. Didn't look at swingarm bearings tho

I know the swinging arm spindles are diffrant sizes thats a easy fix, its the rest of it not sure about. Think it may of been Pedro from the old site that fitted a b12 arm to a slabside 1100 with he b12 knucke but I also know the 1100 shock is longer than the 750 slabside.

There’s a slabby streetfighter on Eblag at mo with a GSXR thou swinging arm & shock so a slingy is possible I guess.

I’ve asked him to send me some pics of how he got round the linkage issue etc -which hopefully he will - he said he obviously needed to get a few bits fab’d up to get it all to work.

It's been a while since I did this and I haven't worked on it since. In short and from memory, 95 750 swingarm, K8 1000 shock, gsx250 linkage which by the way is the same as a bandit and many other models, dog bones off a bike that I can't remember, also can't remember length. Battery box won't fit and will need a small lithium battery with the electricals mounted on a custom tray. Rear footrest brackets may not fit also

I fitted a B12 arm in my first slabby 7/11

How ?

did I not see somewhere on here where someone cut the centre part out of the slabby arm and fitted into the slingshot arm so the stock shock / link was retained ?

That’s a good question, was about 10yrs ago. I remember making up top hats to go in the front of the arm & making a bush with a hole in the centre to go in the slabby rocker & making up several different length doggy bones
