Folks
I’m building up a long distance travel bike based on an R80G/S. Front end, engine and gearbox are all pretty straightforward but I’ve stalled a bit on the best option for the final drive and swing arm.
What I want it achieve are:
- rear disc brake
- longer suspension travel and ground clearance
- 18” rear wheel
- robust, reliable, readily available parts
Currently I’m looking at:
- 1100GS swing arm and FD
- extended Mono swing arm (doesn’t get me a disk brake)
- something else I haven’t thought of yet
What’s the advice from the collective?
