This is the sort of nut I'm thinking of:

That would work well, and would not require any frame mod. It would also prevent the use of the grab bar though.

Looks like I'll need a F2/F3 swing arm. Axle too. Any thoughts on a fix OTHER THAN replacing the arm? Anyone have one they need to unload?



I'm installing a 78 K engine in a 75 F frame and the offset at the output shaft has bit me in the ass. I installed a late model sprocket carrier to match up/line up with the front conversion sprocket and as you can tell I ran out of room. I don't see any way out other than replacing the arm also?!

Yep, that's what I did. Of course that pushes everything on the left side out by 10mm too so I'm overcoming all that
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)
