Will the older ZX-6 swingarms fit the KZ1000 without too much hassle?
I have one fron the early 90's and one from the later 90's early 2000's.

If it's wider at the pivot just grind it or have it machined down. If it's not wide enough you can use washers as spacers. You will either need to buy shock mounts from Jeff or convert it to mono shock. But it will work.

I think that the ZX6D/E models fit without too much hassle but F,J, and newer arms might be too wide to fit without machining.
