Said to hell with it! Ran into so many problems. Just ordered an 03 ZX-6R swinger that I'll modify for dual shocks and shorten up a bit.

Nice job on the gauge and bars...how did you mount the switch?
love bikes, and anything with a engine/motor, and i love the ride way more than the destination, unless I have a passenger, then that's all that matters.

Not quite sure what switch you're referring to. If it's the ignition it's mounted where the horn used to be.

The swinger is of an 03 ZX-6R, takes very little modification to work.

Not sure which center bushing you're talking about. All I had to do was trim the frame about 1\4" where the swingarm mounts, then bore out the ZX6R swingarm bolt so the KZ bolt fit inside of it and bolt her up.
