swingarm help! was created by wildwilly30
i pulled one of my old 77 kz1000s out of the pile and thought i would make myself a retro 80s prostreeter out of it. i bought a calfab extended swingarm off a 83 suzuki gs1100. i was always told they interchange with a kaw. not in this case, this swingarm is wider. so was i right or wrong that they are the same?

Have the new arm machined to fit the frame. Good luck with the pipe. You can make your own tail light kit there are a lot of threads on here. I made mine out of scrap metal. Cost $0.00.
