Thanks guys. I used the ZRX swingarm because it looks very close to the one used on the S1 bike that kawasaki raced in the 80's and I loved that look. It went on suprisingly easy.

Baldy - do you happen to know approx. what year that ZRX arm is from? Do you happen to have any photos of the machining work you had to do? Having a hard time picturing cutting 1" off the right side...but I haven't seen the bare arm either.

Beautiful!

[Sorry for the hijack]

Yeah, I saw that one too. For me the ZRX arms made of tube would work great as it fits into the rules/regs for the AHRMA for my race project. Unfortunately...no money for that at this time either. Hope someone can put it to use...
