shockmounts for dual shocks on zx7 swapped swingarm

I'm thinking about the best way to get some shockmounts onto a zx7 swingarm, I want to keep it dualshock. I thought about gettting some 6061 aluminum square pipe with 1/4 wall and have it welded to the swingarm, cut off part of the top and drill and tap it for the shocks.

Anybody have a better idea, somebody selling premade shockmounts ready to weld on ?



Got the frontend swapped too finally...

Not enough time in a day.

these might work for you or if you have access to the equipment, would be easy to make your own.

Those are nice. I missed those on my many searches. :blink: BTW cool bike.

I used a 83-85 GPz750 aluminum swingarm, and I cut the bottom monoshock linkage mounts off the swingarm, milled them down a little, then had them welded on top the swingarm for shock mounts. They look just like the ones sold by Z1, but they didn't cost me anything

These look nice, didn't find them either in my search, they are out fo stock and $70 :ohmy: . I'll probably make something similar, now I just need to find 6061 1 1/2 inch square tubing with 1/4 walls, they all seem to have 1/8 walls and I don't think that would be thick enough, always something...

Thanks for the link

I have a 88-89 GSXR750 swingarm that was twisted and cut the
shock mounts out of them pretty much the same as the
Z1 enterprise item but with a plate welded on the base
