Swingarm bearing kits for KZ900/1000's

21 Sep 2015 01:11

I'm looking for opinions of people who have installed and used the replacement roller bearing kits (that replace the stock bushings) for KZ900/1000 swingarms. The set I'm looking at is from Z1 enterprises. This kit has 2 bearings per side (4 total). Any opinions of people who have installed and used these kits would be greatly appreciated............Mike

I can't speak to the kits he sells, but I installed a set over 30 years ago in my KZ900 and haven't experienced any problems.

I live near Portland, Oregon and my rider is a '76 KZ900 I bought new. I'm also in the process of restoring another one and a '73 Z1.

I installed it and I think it's excellent. The installation of it is detailed here:
