In actuality, the ride and comfort are much more desired then the GW.
The GW is just no way to get comfortable.
Legs spread apart like in stirrups on a birthing table, sitting on a barrel, disconnected from the road.
In absolute pain after 2 hours.
But it is a technical wonder and so reliable.

 

Pal of mine has a white GW - we call it the icecream van!

 

Some people find them comfortable, I think if you are under 5.8 or so they might be ok.
There is just no room for appendages as in the knees.

 

Most of us just form an orderly queue at the window and ask for a '99'!

 

The 99 is better?
tell me more as will need to adopt some parts

 

I got a 2007 swingarm, 1" axle, and spacers today. It is much beefier. The old swingarm just looks weak as is, lowering linkages are just silly on these things.

I've had a Fat Boy disc wheel for a while, I have no idea if it is a later or newer version. Any ideas on how to ID?

I pulled a FXR swingarm off the shelf and took some side by side rudimentary measurements compared to the new one. The rear shock mount is set back further but otherwise have the same basic dimensions. Has anyone updated their FXR with this swingarm?

 

Most people will tell you to run it to the machine shop.
I would think there is way to center a ream and do it in frame .

 

Not much adaptation required!

 

My body has not adopted .....

 

On FB wheels, the early Evo ones have 3/4" ID tapered roller bearings, with a separate detachable black oil seal which hides the bearing itself, later ones also have 3/4" ID bearings, but sealed ball-race type, with integral seals and the bearing is clearly visible. The later type are larger in OD, as also is the spigot the rotor and pulley sit over.
