Looks super-clean! Nice Rich....

Also was trying to convert to 530 with new sprockets at the same time, but that didn't happen. I ordered new 530 sprockets 17t front 38t rear to go a little higher than stock 15/33 and a nice new x 0-ring chain. Then come to find out Bam,



turns out the morris mags use a different rear sprocket, so now I am on a mission to find who makes a 530 38t sprocket for this rim,



but no luck yet...

I might just go ahead and switch over to an 18" police mag so I can use the sprocket I bought if I can find one for a decent price.

Finally finished up my swingarm swap, used the GS shocks, but I will need some new ones because I think I blew them out when I took my GF out for a ride. It feels like I have struts in the back, no give at all. The rear also dropped and does not sit this high anymore. Anywho here is some pics







Anyone know what year are the Goldwing shocks people use?

Finally had some free time and got them mounted. All I had to do was grind the metal bushing until they fit over the mount.

Yours looks like you'll have to shave off the threaded bung too. Is that a big fat x-ring chain? You could try to move the slack side of the chain up above that bung with a slider, but I would guess it would mess with the chain slack as the swingarm moved up and down.

Ok so did you just use locktight on the screws to keep them in?

130 link DID vx chain. Purposely chose it for being a bit smaller at 23.3mm vs the standard 25-26 in the top of the line chains. The non o-ring DID is 22.5 so I didn't think it was worth the trade off.

As far as messing with the slack I will take video of the suspension compressing and let me know your thoughts. With the rear shocks having two springs it doesn't compress much.

I cut away the tabs and fabricated the ears/ then tig welded them in place. Perfect fit for my old mulhollands and now the zrx shocks. I can photo it for you and provide more details like final size of the new tabs/etc...
Worked very well and has been rock solid for 5 years ir so. Position kept same height as well.
I have two more in the attic that some winter ill crank out a few more.
Z1ent also sells weld on tabs, but there is a "ridge"along the top that i felt should remain, would make it hard to weld their tabs if u kept it. I would love to hear if anyone has used thise tabs on this swingarm.

What exactly do u mean--"loadings involved"? Such as the torsional load, the torque applied when driving, accelerating--that kind of load? Will having a different swingarm on there screw up the original bike's balance, center of gravity, etc.?

Just my 2 cents worth,

You will have much better luck putting your engine into a single sided frame.
Just NO WAY a stock or started as stock frame will take the loadings involved .

How are you pressing out the bushing?

I put on new sportster shocks and the bushings were tight. I used a liberal amount of wd40 and pressed the bushings out with a vice and sockets

I got in touch with a person at Hagon Shocks and the made me a custom pair of shocks.
I got the length I needed with the correct ends.
They were very reasonable in price as well.
Very nice people to deal with, I would highly reccomend them.
Good luc with your build.
