I looked hard at the pics but couldn't tell - you're obviously wise to the problem.

Dummy run with the JMC swingarm.....
Gap in frame is 235mm - swingarm is 215mm..... so 10mm spacers required each side. Also the original wheelbase is the same with it adjusted up to the max, with +125mm further adjustment as the chain wears
All lines up well, even the shock mounts are same spacing. Only thing is the rear footrest hangers are in the way
So it'll be out with Mr Grinder at the weekend

I was trying to resist, but it was inevitable I suppose

Proper swingarm
Good to hear the grinder will be out - you know it makes sense

Only thing is knowing where to take the first cut

Just remember, "the first cut is the deepest" 
I've got my coat

Thought I'd get a bit more time in the garage, but only had an hour or so..... had to reverse the brake arm but it's good to go 
Also fitted the 33t sprocket - got a new front one to match 15t and a new chain ready to fit.
The yoke & handlebars are now swapped over with new r/hand switch gear...
Front end is complete with LTD fender & Teleflex brace...
Next is to sort out a stripped cam cap thread with a helicoil then I can start her up & get the 29mm Smoothies dialled in

Looking good Mark, apart from the schoolboy error of putting the front muddy on backwards
