    Single side swing arm for 78gs1000???

    I found a single side swing arm from a honda with tire and wheel. I have a 78gs1000. It would look pretty sick on there but what would be the modifications I would have to make?? suspension, brake, frame, size of tire??? I would appreciate some feedback

    hope over to http://oldskoolsuzuki.info/ they are more into extreme mods.
    the wildest around here is fitting a mono shock to a gs1000
    78 GS1000 Yosh replica racer project
    82 Kat 1000 Project
    05 CRF450x
    10 990 ADV-R The big dirt bike

    P.S I don't check PM to often, email me if you need me.

      HEy Ryan, I take offense:

      my engine guards and decals are pretty exotic

        Just off the top of my head I can see where you would need to heavily brace the pivot area of the frame, rebore the holes the pivot bolt fits through to allow for a bigger bolt, make room between the frame rails for the pivot on the swingarm, and figure out the shock mounts.

          A single sided swingarm requires the same mods as a regular monoshock swingarm to work - they are no different as far as shock mounting is concerned.

          Agreed about OldSkool though - they have done it a zillion times.

          Also check out http://www.streetfighters.com.au/index.asp

          In the forums there's a few SSSA mod threads.
          Current:
          Z1300A5 Locomotive (swapped my Intruder for it), GS450 Cafe Project (might never finish it....), XT500 Commuter (I know - it's a Yamaha :eek:)

          Past:
          VL1500 Intruder (swapped for Z1300), ZX9R Streetfighter (lets face it - too fast....), 1984 GSX750EF, 1984 GSX1100EF (AKA GS1150)
          And a bunch of other crap Yamahas....

            A single side swing arm would be fun to work with. Do the calculations, and all..

            Dream of mine is to get a hold of a Tesi 3D chassis, but ya know....

                ya! just checked one of those tesa 3d the other day. pretty wicked. I guess its a little weird going into turns because of pressure and no forks, pretty wicked though.
