Hi all. I purchased a 1991 K100LT a few years ago and it's been sitting for a while. I decided to finally go through it completely. When checking the driveshaft splines I noticed they are completely worn out, real bad... along with the finalshaft splines. There were also rubber bits (look brownish) in the swingarm.
I found a good deal on 1986 driveshaft and complete finaldrive unit; only 7k on them and can see that the splines are in excellent condition. I was wondering if I can just swap these parts out. Does it matter that the 1986 doesn't have ABS? I don't mind losing the ABS. If I can transfer the ABS over from my unit to the replacement unit then I'll do that.
Also, any idea which seal the brown pieces are from? I'm thinking the whole swingarm will need to be removed... this doesn't seem too complicated.
Any help is appreciated!!
