Scored Very nice Zephyr swingarm on eBay

Thanks for the information! Is this the same length for the Zephyr 750 swingarm as well? Any information? Bueller?

also, forgot to ask, how has the longer arm effected the handling?

I'll measure mine when I get home

Great thanks!

Just found this thread.
Looks like I'll be getting a Zephyr parts bike for my project!
I ran across one a little while ago and had been kicking around the idea of picking it up, Well I guess it's time I pull the trigger on that!

Thanks for posting all the tech info on the swap.

Up-date:
I picked up the parts bike but I'm not in love with the mags, if anyone has a line on a set of spoked wheels please LMK.

Looks like I can part and get at least $70 for my 50 mile drive picking up this bike. The wife gave me hell and said I'll be lucky to recoup my diesel fuel picking it up.

LOL....I have that same wife....you'll never make the money back....blah blah....
