Default 1981 g1 lift

I recently bought my first cart. A 1981 Yamaha g1. Just bought a Jakce's 6" a arm lift for it, model 6250 off of eccarts.com. the site didn't say anything regarding the year of the cart just the model. Me being a newbie didn't know there was a difference. Other websites say it's just for the 1982 and up models.. so my question is, will it work? As is? Or with modifications? Or not at all? Any help would be great thanks..

The front spindles will not work. You will need the newer style ones.

I ordered the wheels and tires too. I'll definitely out up some pics when I'm done. Hopefully the spindles will be easy to find

I think you will be ok. Just post in the "Items Wanted" section of the forum.

I should add that you will need to notch/modify the frame to clear the clutch. That's for all years....not just the earlier ones.

OK... you all are referring to the front steering knuckle spindle right? I found some on eBay 56 bucks each. That sound right
