pegscraper Posted October 7, 2008 Share #2 Posted October 7, 2008 Sounds like a project. Can you weld? It may or may not bolt into the frame. Then the shock and suspension linkages are almost certainly different. Then the rear brake caliper mounting is almost certainly different. About the only way to know for sure is to get one from someone who has triked a 2nd gen and try it. The first gen rear wheel is still too narrow, isn't it? The second gen wheel is 4" wide inside the bead seats. You could use a 2nd gen rear wheel, which would eliminate the brake caliper issues. Shoot, just buy a 2nd gen and be done with it.

GeorgeS Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted October 8, 2008 Well I know the Swing arm of the 2nd gen has more clearance for the tire, then the 1st gen. However, IF thats the only difference, in the two swing arms, then it might possibly work. Oh well, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
