Who Wants A Bolt-on Chaindrive And Fat Tire?

[79XS11F]

being that I will want all frame wielding done at once .. is the relocation of the upper shock mount points mandatory with the ZXR swing arm? I just recently bough progressive suspension for the front and back of the hop up bike and will want to use those shocks. If only the adapters are needed .. where are they available?

xs650 wheel

It has 36 spokes

New set on the way and rim being powder coated black

[Bowtied]

So the conversion kit is only 350? And we have to find a swingarm? And then piece the little stuff together? Did i read that right?

And what about brake lines? Do those extend easily or do we have to mod them as well to reach and seal right.

650 wheel

good deal.....Ebay #290180468827......this is 60 spoke......how many spoke does your 650 rim have?

It has the stock 40 so it would look good that way

front wheel

I just put the front wheel and tire on, this is what she looks like



tell me what you think

front tire again

Here is another angle of PITA

CHOP hey man thanks for all of your help... next one will be a hard tail old school bobber





The second shot is before the front wheel but gives you an idea of what the whole thing looks like

purty

that is a good looking wheel. I take it the rim is alloy powdercoat?....After you've ridden the soft tail, the hard-tail will be a pain...literally

Cool headlight choice too

front wheel

yep it's powdercoated and black, my favorite color

These are the custom spacers that centers the ZRX1100 Swingarm/wheel centerline to the XS1100 frame Centerline


This is what it looks like before it goes on the xs1100 frame


The right-side XS11 frame bolt has been turned down 5mm to make up for the right side compression fitting/spacer that goes over the custom pivot shaft and compresses the swingarm using stock xs11 swinarm bolts...

Hey Rob, the right side needle bearing stay, (The 4th part from the right side), I feel was unnecessary because the needle bearings are in a hard-pressed housing inside the swingarm that pivot on the swingarm shaft...I have tried to remove 2 different needle bearings from 2 diff ZRX swingarms and they don't come out without ALOT of force......

To all others, I sold the last Bolt-on Chaindrive housing I had to a friendly Texan before the holidays and I won't be making any for a while...I have another project that's been on hold for too long that I am gearing up for.....

Well .. as luck would have it I found and acquired a complete bolt on chain drive conversion kit on e-bay yesterday for 55 bucks. Go figure I would stumble upon this item only after buying the swing are and other parts for the DIY set up. This e-bay set up includes the middle gear unit, swing arm and a rear wheel conversion sprocket for the standard 17 inch wheel. Looks like the ring gear gets removed from the wheel and then this sprocket replaces it. Once I receive this item I Will have to decide which swing arm set up to use and i am hoping that the alignment of xschops middle gear unit will match up with the rear sprockets position. I was surprised that one one was bidding on this item given the interest in the conversion that my "my space" page gets. I didn't expect to win the item but through a few bucks at it for fun. Here's a few photos of the e-bay set up.

I saw that item on ebay...would have bid on it but the shipping was astronomical.

Good buy tho, at the price you got it for.

He had stated that the shipping price to the USA was in error but did quote me between $90 and $350 depending on how fast I want the item. If I take the slow shipping method ( 10 to 31 days) it is in deed a real good buy.
