Kz1000 - GS Swingarm swap

aacoop,
I went back and looked, cause I also was thinking that was a bit of a variation too.
It really should be 19mm each side. here's where I screwed up:
I use a laser pointer that I fabricated into a really great way to line up sprockets. I simply epoxied two small magnets to it, and leveled it out on a piece of 3/8" glass so that it dried level.
What i forgot to to was deduct the depth of the pointer from the numbers for alignment, so I was exactly 5.5mm off. so-if you deduct 5.5 from the 24.5 and add it to the 13.5, they are both 19mm.
hope that makes sense, I think all i need to get the laser to work really well is to add a 5.5mm magnet surface that sticks to the drive sprocket and it will be real quick to align the sprockets, and about as dead on as you could possibly get..

Thx man.

The tire is sitting in the swingarm on a slant that is altering the sprocket alignment..thx to the laser..


I am thinking of returning to the stock setup since I have never ridden the bike before..I don't need any mystery handling issues with a fresh bike..

If ur fixin' u ain't rydin

I was wondering how much longer the GS swingarm was verses the stock swingarm.

I think the GS arm is about 1.5" longer than a stock KZ arm.
