Hello from Scotland

A couple decades ago i had a whole ZX10 earlier version, swingarm/wheel/shock and hardware. I also had a junk 1977 KZ1000 frame i was going to "try" similar, never happened though. I'm the worst welder in the U.S. 

Hi thank you for the welcome, much appreciated.

Yes , well spotted . It’s  a GPz 750 arm / dog bone linkages/ spindle with custom made spacers , Hagon GPz 1100 shock . 

Powder coated arm and linkages painted black , surprising how many folk’s don’t notice. 

It was done by my good friend and top engineer Garry “Pops” Paterson, the bracing for the shock mount plus the monoshock and box arm make for a lot better handling . Frame has been braced in the usual places also. 

Retains rear drum brake , airbox and battery is roughly in the same location, slight mod to electrical connectors but retain stock parts. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nearly , but well spotted,  GPz 750 but with 1100 shock originally due to weight , now has Hagon replacement. 

Posted some photos now , on the bench for a tidy up and another part restoration. Sort out this mismatch of bolts and nuts , new wiring harness and loads of other stuff. 

Made a new bracket for the side panel instead of the toolkit box holder as it had to be cut to allow the mod  and was a loose fit so worried about losing the right side panel. Will powder coat the bracket . 

Cheers. 

Very nice conversion, well designed and fabricated.  And subtle enough to be missed.
