Am thinking pictured view is underside of swingarm and stub is mount for torque link attachment underneath righthand side (torque link connects swingarm to rear brake). Note location of studs (on top of swingarm) for holding bottom of rear shocks.

The light color rectangular piece on lefthand topside (see eBay listing) may be a (nylon?) guard to protect the swingarm from the drive chain.

Z1/KZ900 oem chainguard is held in place with two bolts which screw into threaded front and rear tabs on the oem swingarm. Don't see any provisions for mounting a chainguard on the Federiconi swingarm, whereas the Cal-Fab swingarm does show chainguard mounting tabs.

For those concerned with such things, would expect webbing on topside of Federiconi swingarm to soon collect a lot of road gunge, especially without using a chainguard.

Don't know yet, I'm guessing $100 to $150. I have to wait till the seller emails me the totals. Now to send that head to APE, and get the bore kit...
