82 1100e swing arm on a 79 1000e

[stubbz]

Is the 82 1100e alum swing arm a bolt on for a 79 1000e? also will the 82 17" wheel bolt on to the 79? thanks

Not sure what bolts up, but should not be to difficult to modify if it dosn't.

Direct bolt in on the swingarm with two potential issues

1. You might have a bit of a clearance problem with the rear foot peg mounts (I didn't). Just bend them outward about 1/4" each side

2. You might have a clearance problem where the swingarm fits between the frame bosses that the pivot bolt goes through (I did). After trying to hammer it in, I pulled it out and removed one washer from beneath the dust caps and it slid right into place

Slide it in with chain, install pivot bolt, shocks, rear wheel and brakes, torque it all down and you're ready to go

The other rear wheel should bolt right in, I haven't done it tho

You will need to use the spacer from the 17" wheel. The spacer that goes on the brake side, that is.
