    80 vs 81 Rear Drive

    Is the rear drive the same on the 80 and 81 Special outside of the color?

      If you're referring to gear ratio, yes, they are the same.

      1979 XS1100SF (stock-euro mods planned)
      1984 XV700L Virago (to be hot-modded)
      1983 XJ750MK Midnight Maxim (semi-restored DD)
      1977 XS650D ( patiently awaiting resto)

      Sometimes it takes a whole tank of gas before you can think straight.

              Hi, Gene -

              The swingarm assembly should be a direct swap between the '80 and '81 Specials ...
