Has anyone put a single sided swing arm on their bike (KZ 900) like the VFR swing?.
I really like the look of the SS swing, but I dont know how much modification it would take. I know I would need to make up shock mounts, but I am unsure of the pivot with or how it lines up with the chain.
Anybody?

I get "Streetfighters" magazine from Europe and I've seen them done to KZs often. If you go to customfighters.com there should be some there...somewhere.

Mercymac,
Nice bike, bud. You making a thread on it in "Projects"? By the way: are those wheels GSXR (first gen), or GS?

I have an aluminum swing arm from a FJ1200 which has been machined to fit the Kawasaki. NO SPACERS NEEDED
It comes with new swing arm bearings, axle and chain adjusters. Also, the FJ wheel if you want it.
$150 including shipping in the lower 48 states.
