Default Hurricane Questions.

Hey guys i have a 1987 hurricane 600 that i have put alot of work into, and now have decided to rip it apart and do it again, but this time i want to put a swing arm on the back that will hold a 180 rear tire, i was thinking 1987-1990 hurricane 1000 swing arm. any suggestions? and i am going to do a complete motor rebuild, thinking of boreing it over to a 750, not sure yet though, any tips or suggestions would help out alot. Thanks.

-Brandon

hmmm, not sure if cane 1000 swing will fit? will have to check. with a bit of frame grinding, a f3 swing will fit.

750 is a bit much. 700 is the safe limit. you don't want the walls so thin that they warp.
