Swingarm diameter

[Dogg]

Does anyone know the diameter of a single sided gl 1800 swing arm? At the pivot bearings. I want to compare to the valk swingarm and see what difference it is in measurement. How much modifying i might have to do, etc...just curious.

I have a '12 GL1800 trike take-off swingarm and would be happy to try to answer, but 1) it will be Saturday before I can spend any time on it, and 2) I'm not sure exactly where you want measurements.  If this weekend is soon enough, hopefully, the picture below can help me.  Here's the link in case you need to download and markup.  http://images.powersportsnetwork.com/fiche/images/Honda/2012/Motorcycles/MCA8F3200.gif

Lol, funny tank...nah, not so bad... Measurement at the swingarm pivot. Where the bearings go and is bolted to the frame.

Dogg, I have a swingarm for an '06 wing on the workbench. I still can't figure out what measurement you want. Diameter is the distance across a circle. Which circle are you referring to?

I'm no expert, but might like to try this. I've seen, in a post some time ago, a Valkyrie that had been fitted with the cantilever swing arm from a Rune. Would make changing out the rear wheel a snap.
