    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I am wanting a little longer swing arm for the look I'm after. Will a gs1100 aluminum swing arm mount on my 80' 550L?

If nobody knows can someone with a gs1100 measure the width on the front of the swing arm where it mounts to the frame?

Thanks guys.
 
it should, you might have to bend out your passenger footpeg brackets from what i recall reading. i chopped mine on my 550 frame so i didnt run into that. you'll have to drill out from a 15mm hole to a 16mm hole as the 1100 swingarm is 1mm thicker. the width beteeen the frame are identical so once you drill out for the axle it'll slide right in. pretty simple, i used a drill bit i ordered off line and my battery drill with perfect results. the other thing is you'll need eye to clevis shocks, vs the eye to eye of stock. only thing im not positive on is your stock rear axle as ive put a gsxr wheel in there with the 20mm axle and cant recall what the stock was.
 
THanks for the info man. Much appreciated. Now I can pick up a swingarm lol.
