Default In Process ... 750 Sport Swing Arm on a F1

Once we figured out the chain and spockets we were on our way.

The 750 Sport swingarm as expected fits perfectly onto the 750F1 motor.

The issue was due to the widening of the swingarm and wider 17" wheel the chain was now aligning with the rear sprocket and not the front. The chain alignment was fixed by using an offset front sprocket (do not ask where I got it, because it came with a Laguna Seca and I have no idea where to get one ... if you find a source, please post it).

So we are using a 750 Sport swingarm with a 1991 851 5.5" wheel and the issue we are having is the alignment of the brake caliper. What we are looking for this week is the caliper carrier and rod to mount the 900SS rear brake in the hope this will align everything as it is meant to be.

Keep your fingers crossed, we will have 17" wheels rolling on the F1 ... very very soon.
