Both the zrx1100 and zrx1200 bolt right in. If you are looking for a non braced square stock kind, the only one i know of is a suzuki gs1000 aluminum arm. It will take a 5 inch rim and even a 5.5 with the right offset.

Is the early 80's GS aluminum arm any longer than the stock KZ arm? Does it have shock mounts?:S

around 2" longer and they are a twin shock swingarm but they use a different style of lower shock mount, they use a clevis type other than that the swing arm is a straight bolt in.
