2013 Swingarm pivot width - graystreet_imp - 11-02-2016
Hey guys, I'm looking to swap my '79 cb750 swingarm for a 2013 cb1100 to accomodate a wider rear tire. Can anyone here with a 2013 measure their swingarm width for me?
The part that connects the frame from side to side, not the length of the swingarm.
Thanks in advance!

I went out and looked at mine to try and get a measurement for you, but it looks like it would be very diificult to get any kind of Accurate measurement without the bike being apart, and having the swingarm in hand. I could barely see up in there.

11 inches dead on with the OEM HONDA spacers
10 1/4 without the OEM Spacers

Thanks lola.. That's a bit wider than my 750, maybe I can do some machining down and make it work

No problem . It shouldn't be that hard machining and if you go over you could just play with spacer thickness.
goodluck
