Swingarm \"Buttons\"
12 Mar 2006 12:30
You guys and gals know what these are, right? Do these just screw into a hole in the swingarm (doesnt seem to me like the "point" would hold the weight??), or is a nut or fitting welded to the swingarm, then a lift post threaded into that, or what??
I'm trying to figure best way for the swingarm stand I
just welded up to pick the bike up. Are these "buttons" available for our older kaws??
Thanks....

Them "things" are "bungs" used to fit into the end of a "sportbike" style lift/stand to lift and hold the rear wheel off ground for whatever you have in mind. Those stand usually come in two versions...one with a "U" shaped end to fit those "things" and another end that has a "flat" angle piece to be used on square-tubed swingarms.

My ZX arm came with them welded on from the factory ( I assume, it still has factory paint, and the welds look the same all over the arm) its not a nut (its more of a "U" shape), but if you were making your own, a nut would do the exact same thing:)77KZ650.....THEM'S the ones!!!!
