[tshaw151]

whats up guys (and girls) ? just was hoping someone would already know the answer to this question. ive got my eyes on a front and rear end off a 77 550f, i want to bolt it up on my 500, how hard is this swap going to be?

has anyone here done this before?
what kind of problems should i be expecting to run into?

thanks in advance!

Search for steering stem diameters - that's the best info I can give

Should swap straight in.
Both use same steering bearings.
Pretty sure swing arm is also a direct swap.
I've done it and don't remember making any extra parts (doesn't mean I didn't, I just don't remember )

the forks will be a direct swap.... not sure about the swing arm.
