Yup but you'll have to work with the rear brake caliper bracket issue

PM Indiana Hurricane .....he's done it and knows all there is to know.

Real good Guy too.

Hey:

The big ? is do you plan or do you have the wider rear wheel of a 90 as well. If you do or can get a 90+rear wheel (5.5x17), swingarm and brake caliper/disc assembly as complete as you can (axle and spacers) then it a very easy swap and just slides right in, as the frame side and shock stay as they are. Then you can go to a 180 or 190 radial tire with little to no issues as long as the front is a radial tire too. Good Luck with your project. The exhaust may need a little clearing on the left side if still stock but thats all, if I recall accurately.
