Our 55mm primary offset kit is really the limit of what is possible, extending the main shaft further will put too much torsion stress on the shaft, the 330 tire really needs a different approach. We strongly feel that instead of offsetting the primary to the extreme, it is better to leave the primary in the original position and move the final drive over to the right side. Zodiac developed a swing arm and transmission conversion kit that allows the use of a 300 or 330 wide rear tire in a stock Evolution or Twin Cam Softail frame. We offer two very cost-effective solutions, one with a RSD conversion kit, that re-uses as many stock parts as possible, and one with a RSD builder's kit. The RSD transmission conversion kit only includes the parts that are needed to convert your stock transmission into a RSD transmission. It includes parts such as: main shaft, counter shaft, shift drum, shift forks, etc. It also includes a new Billet trap door that gives room for the main drive gear. To avoid any "not wanted" load on the cast transmission housing, we have designed the trapdoor in such a way it is not only supported by the lower frame tube but also by de swing arm pivot. To make the internals of transmission stronger, the fifth gear countershaft has become an integrated part of the countershaft. We have completed the kit with the required hardware, new seals and gaskets. Some builders may not want to use their old transmission gears, for those we have a complete builders kit available. Builder's kits have the gears and shafts installed on the trap door, and include all internal parts of the transmission. You can use these in your own or new transmission housing. All RSD conversion and builders kits use a special RSD clutch actuator/pulley cover, which is separately available. Clutch actuators are available in hydraulic or cable operated. The cable operated clutch actuator works with stock Big Twin clutch cable, the hydraulic operated clutch actuator requires an 11/16" bore master cylinder. We have OEM style and Custom Style clutch master cylinders available, check out our Handlebar Controls section. Kits for up to 300 series rear tire include RSD transmission conversion or builders kit, TIG welded swing arm, stainless steel swing arm splashguard, and rear wheel axle. Kits for up to 330 series rear tire also include an offset final drive front pulley, extended clutch pushrod and a spacer ring for the clutch actuator/pulley cover. For those that prefer to use a wide wheel with 1" bearing we have bearing sleeves ZPN735416 and ZPN735417 available. A raw steel RSD belt guard is available separately. Note: Installation in Softail "Deuce" models requires some modification of the frame and swing arm. 4557 ZODIAC'S "SMART ASS" RIGHT SIDE DRIVE CONVERSION KITS Optional and replacement parts 722942 135 Tooth narrow belt for use on Evolution Softail 191396 70 Tooth narrow belt pulley for use on Evolution Softail 237074 Late style countershaft 5th gear for use in 1991 thru 1993 models 700996 Swingarm and side plate only for Twin Cam Softail 2000-2006 700995 Swingarm and side plate only for Evolution Softail 700939 Rear axle, 3/4" diameter 339139 Chrome axle adjuster set + 1/2" 238763 Stainless swingarm plate 701120 55mm Primary offset kit for models thru 2006 701952 Primary offset kit for 280 tires in 2007 Softail, includes offset Frame side plate Complete kits for 300 series rear tire 700977 For Twin Cam Softail 2000-2006 Complete kits for 280 series rear tire 711919 For Twin Cam Softail 2007-2011 700978 For Evolution Softail 1991-1999 Complete 6-speed conversion kits for 280 series rear tire 700940 For Twin Cam Softail 2000-2006 Complete 6-speed conversion kits for 250 series rear tire 700938 For Evolution Softail 1991-1999 How can one fit a 270, 280 or even 300 in a stock Softail frame? Simple, that's where Zodiac comes in. Zodiac's Ton Pels designed a complete extra wide swingarm kit that includes a "no jig needed" frame widening kit as well as the primary offset kit that allows the use of up to 300 tires in stock and most aftermarket frames. The frame widening is done with a 15mm. thick offset banana shaped frame side plate. The banana shape side plate is welded in to place using the original banana plate as the welding jig. The location of the engine/transmission of the Evolution models in the frame has a 1/4" difference compared to the Twin Cam models. Therefore the offset in the frame plate, in combination with our 45mm primary offset kit provides enough room for up-to 250 series rear tires in Evolution Softail frames, and 280 series rear tires in Twin Cam Softail frames. If the offset plate is used in conjunction with our 55mm primary offset, the kit provides enough room for Avon's extreme wide 300 series tires in a 2000 thru 2006 Twin Cam Softail frame, or Metzeler 280 series rear tire in an Evolution Softail frame. The offset plate with 25mm primary offset kit for 2007 to present models provides enough room to install a 280 series rear tire. The complete kit contains a swingarm, offset banana frame side plate and a very complete primary offset kit. Primary offset kit for models thru 2006 includes primary spacer ring with support bearing, crankshaft extension, extension nut, primary gasket kit, extended main shaft, extended main drive gear, offset front pulley, extended starter motor coupler with extended bolt and all extended primary bolts with locking plates. Primary offset kits for 2007 to present contain a primary spacer ring without support bearing. The OEM brake caliper can be re-used. and tabs for the belt guard are welded in place. The kits for Evolution Softail must be used with a Twin Cam type 1 1/8" wide, 135 tooth final belt and a 70 tooth 1 1/8" wide pulley. When installing this kit in a 1991 thru 1993 model a late style countershaft 5th gear (ZPN237074) must be ordered separately. For selected models we have complete kits that include a complete 6-speed conversion too. Note: We strongly recommend a craftsman or certified welder does the welding of the side plate. When needed, Zodiac can arrange the welding for you. Just ask your Zodiac dealer. Note: The Evolution models will accept the 300 series tire if the wheel is slightly offset to the right side. Note: We designed a special 29 front, 65 rear pulley and belt combination to create extra belt clearance on extremely lowered bikes. Check this out in the rear belt and pulley section. 4556 SOFTAIL SWINGARM KIT FOR UP TO 300 TIRES )Ȫ$ȥ( 5ȝ$Ȫ 6ȭ6Ȩ(Ȧ6ȡ2Ȧ SWINGARMS (Site 1124)
