I just (a few minutes ago) finished installing a pair of the swingarm clamps on my '73 850. However, with the clamps in place, the oil filter assembly cannot mount to the original holes because the right-side swingarm clamp interferes with one of the oil hoses to the filter. It causes the upper hole to be about 1/4 inch out of line.
The only solution that comes to mind is drilling new mounting holes in the engine/tranny mounting plate but I'd rather not do that. Has anyone else run into this? What did you do to solve it?
