Here's a 160x17 on a stock swing arm and it just fits..




My difference is that I'm running a 150 0n a 18" wheel so it pushes my tire further into the swingarm and a tighter space. It almost looks like i need to keep my stock chaing/sprocket setup because the offset might rub on the left shock. Anyone else run an offset sprocket on 76 swingarm or know if it is even necessary?

You might want to double check your engine numbers and make sure you don't have a late model engine (and rear sprocket carrier) already.  Stranger things have happened.

I looked closer at the hub and compared to the pictures on cyclex and it looks like a 69-76 hub. Do you know off hand what the numbers on my motor should be if its earlier?
