Mjv420 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 I currently have a complete rolling chassis from an 89 j-arm frame. I would like to switch over to an a-arm. My question is will all the parts (besides j travel arms) bolt onto the a-arm frame? Like the front hubs and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO............some spindles are different on newer bikes for the front brake caliper....but if you are just taking every thing off the j frame and putting it on an a- frame it should work...remember all wire harnest are different. for the different year CDI's and starors plugs same goes for head lights....

I am looking at just getting a standalone A arm frame and use all my 2g harness, lights, coil etc on the a arm frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 If he keeps his 89 spindles, then it will still work with the front brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
