I'm wanting to install one on my 70. Is there much work involved? Does anyone sell a relocator kit or do I have to fab one. Pics would be helpful if you have one.

I've searched for this type of setup. The posts mentioned Big Bike, H Style, MX Style swingarms. I'm kind of new to this.

I would like to see some pictures of the upper mount my self.

I dont know how readily the upper mount is. But you can fabricate one if you have the skills and a welder.

I was thinking about this and was going to do it,But you are going to be very limited to a rear shock. The frame in that area is to narrow to take a 3" wide shock which is whats normally used on a MX style swinger.

Anything can be done if get real creative,But I dont think it will be worth it in the end. As you will still have a weak stock frame.

Here is a pic of the mount. One of the members here has it in the classifieds.

You can by the shock relocation bracket from 50 Caliber.

You sure it will work? I'm just looked at both my 50 and 70 frame. The U-Bolt doesn't look like it will come down enough.

It will. Its made to relocate the shock mount on stock frames.

The pic that I posted is on a stock frame. See the factory white sticker for the color and trim code under the U bolt. You should have that on your frame also.

Using the pic for reference. I measured the distance from the top mounting bolt to where the ubolt would be on the my 50. Took that same measurement to the 70 and it's too short. Never the less, it's a good visual so I can fab one for the 70.
