motorcycles have the same problem,ie chan length varies with suspension movement.Only trouble with this BB pivot is the s/arm will be too close to heels and ankles,unless you have a offset as close to the BB as possible.Would make for a stiff mount tho.

I have an 856 that I just performed Simon's bearing conversion on. I too had a cracked swingarm that I had rewelded and machined much like the directions above. Between the new bearings and the Risse shock, the rear of the bike is rock solid. I am very happy and this bike might be good for another 13 kilomiles.
