What swingarms will fit on the KZ?

yes.

i have a older zx-7 swingarm on one of my older conversions the style that uses the eccentric adjusters and it wasn't to bad to switch over and it gave the wheel base an extra 2 inches all i did was make a mount for the tourque arm and cut the mono shock linkage mounts off and flippthem around and remount them on the top for shock mounts. i also have a gs 1100 setup on my little drag bike and it was very easy to convert. for racing i like the gs arm but for looks on the street the zx arm is pretty cool.

What did you do for the shock mounts on the ZX7 arm? Did you just ark on a set for standard duals?

i took the mono shock linkage mounts of the bottom of the swingarm and flipped them around and located them on the upper side of the swingarm and welded them in place they were a perfect fit for the shocks that way i didn't have to make anything else up and they are very beefy it worked out perfect as they are made out of the same alluminium as the swingarm so we didn't have to try to weld disimalar types of metal together so it made it very strong. win win situation

old man i right.the suzuki gs1100 arm is the most common.that is what i use.they fit with no mods just a small spacer on each side of the pivot shaft.this will keep the dual shock setup and that is what i prefer on a old kz.

Shocks ??? Shocks you say ??? - For god's sake man - Real men don't use shocks !!!!

Ouch :ohmy: I'm too old to loose my kidneys, and I like my other organs just where they are. NO THANK YOU I've been and survived too much combat to loose body parts now. If the rag heads couldn't kill this old Marine I sure wont let my Kaw do it.

call me a sissy, butt struts on the street is just nutts.:S

why is that, guys are willing pay 50 to 70,000 dollars for them all the time from these so called bike builders. zippy is just doing it on the cheap to get the same effect.

"A fool and his money are easily parted" I could never understand how someone could PAY for a bike like that. There is nothing to be proud of. Just proof that you are a rich FOOL. Now on the other hand, if you build your own bike and set the value at that sum, you are now a skilled craftsman and can be proud of what you accomplished. But to loose body organs for the sake of stiling is just not for me. I want to be able to ride till I'm at least 85+++ :woohoo:

Ok, now call me stupid, but can you fit the 180 tire on the factory rim? or in my case I have a ninja 250 rim on my bike. Whats the biggest tire you can fit on a stock rim?

WOW!! never mind i'm a retard, disregard that last post but what is the largest tire you can fit on a 3.5 rim width?? like 150 ish??
