[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 171867, member: 98"] ok eric seen thread at ngw ....frame on 1000 is not threaded like 1100s are ...they use t like locking sleeve thats threaded ...this arrangement is what makes 1000 space a bit narrower than 1100s and 1200s threaded frames ...also makes pivot pins narrower in overall size ...but pin part that in swingarm is bigger ...this needs to be turned down to 1100 and 1200 size .....so theres is some milling of sleeve and swing both to get a good fit and also good structure overall .....but nothing is really to hard to do just cant go to much milling on any one thing in my opinion .....once pin is milled to fit swing arm it just has to be custom fitted to go in ..... with the 1500 final and wheel it should be some nice tall gearing ...i enjoy 80mph at a bit less than 4000 rpm with the car tire and 1200 final on hooch ..you will probably be a bit taller gearing than me with 1500 set up ...im sure you will love it i do ...with the hooched out motor you have there will be no problem with power for the gearing at all...hooch will still torch tire and bring the front wheel off the ground with ease .... this was for sure the best mod a made to the hooch bike ...after it was going good i tried all the finals ....i also like the increased wheel base of the bike with the extra length it gave the bike .....
