Member Contributer CBVFRbikeboy Posted March 22, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted March 22, 2014 Hi guys. Wondering if the vf1000r swingarm will bolt into an '83 vf750 frame? I have a spare set of R wheels I thought I'd try to fit in a spare frame I have. I need to have the caliper mount of the R to fit the rear disk. I think the front will be OK? cheers ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer CBVFRbikeboy Posted March 23, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted March 23, 2014 Sorry. Just realised the brake torque arm connects to the frame, not the swingarm. Need a plan B cheers ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer gll429 Posted March 23, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted March 23, 2014 the arm does NOT go to the frame.. in anycase just put the wheels om the 750 swing arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted March 23, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted March 23, 2014 Thought I saw someone who put R wheels on an F and used the lower right rearset bolt location to attach the (modified?) torque arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I should have worded that better. The 1000r arm is attached to the frame, and the caliper is underslung. need the 1000r caliper because the disk is smaller. cheers ian Thought I saw someone who put R wheels on an F and used the lower right rearset bolt location to attach the (modified?) torque arm. thanks for that. I'll see if I can find it. cheers ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer VF1000RS Posted March 27, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted March 27, 2014 It was me and I used a longer lower bolt through the lower right peg hanger mount. The bike was a VF1000F not a 750 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
