Yes I have been running 850 Commando rear wheel on my Featherbed for 34 years now, easy to convert, I didn't replace the torque pin, I just cut it down to fit the Featherbed swing arm and the axle spacers to make sure the chain runs straight and the wheel don't rub on the swing arm.
I did the exact same thing. Just take care to cut it very carefully so as not to remove more material than needed to just fit. I seem to recall having to slightly re-orient the alignment, so the cuts maybe were not on the same angle as the original shape? <Ashman, do you recall? It has only been 5 or 6 years for me, but I've forgotten.
