Z1R Custom

Finally getting a little done, started on the swingarm, made a little progress on it, spending more time on the jig setting it up to reproduce the linkage mounts. Should be on the bike by monday, I'll post more pics then:)

that looks stout!

"Finally getting a little done"... A little, Hell you've accomplished a lot....

Any more images of that swingarm (rear chain adjusters)?

Well done, Looks killer!...

Rear adjustments are just like most other dragrace arms, internal aluminum sliders.

What'd you use for internal pivot tube components (Or swingarm bearing kit)?

going with KZ components only using bushings instead of needle bearings. Not a big fan of needle bearings, just a personal preference.

Accomplish in aluminum and sell them puppies.... Plumi will buff them out for ya... :laugh:

LUV the table rig...

Wow!! Killer!!

Here it is off the jig, a pic of just the back where the sliders go. Just have to add the brake stay and off to chrome;) . I did kick around the idea of aluminum but the tensile strength isn't good for most weldable aluminums. By the time you add enough bracing to compensate your up on weight. I have done a couple in the past and would do it again, I just don't recommend it.

Thanks Drooz, I'm really enjoying the build.

Try this again:unsure:

Well, here it is on the bike, this thing is going to be long and low.:woohoo:




I think I'm going to cut the original turnsignal mounts off and mount the turnsignals where the shocks were.
