From the few pics, the swing arm area of the frame looks to be from a 1000, but I can't really tell if the swing arm itself is from a 1000. IIRC, the output shaft of the 1500 is offset farther from the centerline of the engine, and obviously the engine is significantly longer, so considerable fabrication would be required throughout. It would be a fun challenge, no doubt!

I’ll bet that doesn’t get tested at speed. It’s very clean, but I can’t see much in the way of frame reinforcements that early Wings were known to suffer from. If it has a 77 final drive, it would scream. There have been a few 1500’s stuffed into early wings over the years. Never heard of how well they performed.
Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.
