ok .. hooch has 1200 final drive and swing arm put in and dose great ... 1200 can use 1500 wheel with a few mods ... so this is attempt to used the 1500 swing arm also along with final drive ...
this is right after cutting everything ... did all the cutting with hand hack saw to have the smallest kerf going on ...width of cut.....
this is section of tube cut out early on ..slitting it ..it will be fitted inside tube as spacer between cuts .. theres moore to do here seemed a good 5/16 or so had to be removed and formed to fit inside tube
this is pic of other hack sawing cut ..it will ride down brace to be rewelded
this is pic of sleeve install in the tube and pieces pushed together ..using hack saw has got this super close to right ...it wont be to hard from to line everything up
gee it looks crazy ..so far .. but as i looked at everything ..theres no way it anu different than 1500 wheel on 1200 swing arm except for shock mounts and the i think 3" longer wheel base...still some unknowns yet ..but choose to go one step at a time .....like shock mounts maybe frame interference but i think ive got all that covered but i didnt do nothing but look ...
