Yes, I swapped with an 83 swingarm and diveshaft. You have to use the 83 axle also for correct alignment. The front wheel is a direct bolt up to the 81 front end. I think I had to use the speedo drive from the 83.Track T 2411 wrote:Hey! Looking very sweeeeet! Like the 83 wheels, too. Did you swap in the 83 swingarm and 83 front forks? Curious 'cause I'm thinking about this swap down the road...

I agree. Goldwing exhaust systems are a real pain because by the time you buy one, The exhaust is rotted away. It's fairly easy to find, or make, the head pipes, but the muffler and adapter can cause real headaches....a good candidate to include in our ShopTalk...

Reducer purchased at Pep Boys. I cut slots in the end to slip tight over the end of the header. these were needed to reduce diameter of pipe to fit adapter. Painted black and clamped with 1 3/4 clamp.
Angled adapter made to adapt old style Triumph Mufflers to newer bikes (these were on Ebay but you can also get them at other supply houses that carry British bike parts)
