zx9r swing arm swap
19 Jun 2007 18:33
Hi,
I am in the process of upgrading my swingarm/rear wheel(kz 900 76). I already have the zx9r 94/97 rear wheel(5.5in) setup. I might buy the zx9r swingarm(same year). Will keep dual shock setup. Have no idea about pivot bolt size, swing arm length, work involved ! Any advice on that swap!
Thanks.

RollingStock; What is the deal on your seat?
Is it just sitting there for the picture, or do you ride it like that?

Nice Bike Rollingstock. Did it take a lot of mod to make it fit ? i prefer it though without the extra strech. Are you keeping the dual shocks ?
Thanks

im running a 190 right now.. but the rim will hold bigger(i think the next size up is 200 or 210 sorry its been awhile).
i using a stock busa up front and the stock zx12r in the rear.. i dont know what the busa offset is.. i just went threw a box of spockets at the shop where i put the rear rim on. also running a D.I.D chain.. they used this chain on 400+hp bikes so i figured what little power i make this chain should last a while haha
everything in the rear is from a 99-01 zx9r/12r
it was a pretty easy swap.. kinda hard findin all the little parts(had everything but got f-ed over on ebay). lucky a local shop pretty much let me go threw the're used parts(i helped out there so it was nothing new haha)
oooo ya i forgot to say u have to cut the rear pegs off.. the swingarm is way to width... u might beable to heat it and bent the frame out so it clears.. i just cut it off
