Hi all,

I finally started working on the swingarm upgrade. It is a zx6r 03 swing, the pivot part was shortened and special spacers were fabbed to work with the KZ axle( Thanks to Leon Blackbanshee), works perfect. SInce i intend to go with dual shocks, i have a problem fitting the right shock since the rear caliper is in the way.



Any suggestions ?

Thanks

That is a common problem when trying to mount shocks since you have come this far

i have a theory that if you were to have a brake are made just like the one you have only backwards the caliper would mount underneath and still be an easy install

Essentially the slot on the other side so it would be upside down when mounted

HEY LEON or LES help me out here I think it will be a good fix!!

I have one of Leons swingarm mods as well but I went crazy amd did the monoshock

are we talking about making a new custom mount, or reusing the same one ?

making a new one just backwards. i don't think it would bev that tuff for a couple of the really talented prople on this site.

I'm sure a local machine shop could hook you up as well

it would be right and servicable.
are you having shock mounts welded on? or is that done cant tell from the pic

I will have shock mounts welded on, i will try to use zrx shocks. How difficult was your monoshock setup ?

I am sure there are other brake mounts you could make work maybe somebody else has a sugestion but I think whoever does your shockmount could make you a new bracket since thats all you need. you already have the brakes

The Mono ended up a little more involved than I thought it would due to my lack of fab experience. I decided to go with rearsets because in my haste I cut the rear brake boss off to get the swingarm in instead of slowing down and analyzing the situation I had a cut off wheel and got cut crazy lol

all I had was
hand tools a cutoff wheel and a lincoln mig welder did it in my daughters garage.

I looked at a couple posts on here OMR had the most complete step by step so I kind of copied it

LES has a bolt on set up he designed not sure if he is making any the ZX swingarm seems to have less angle than others is why I chose to use the T bar route

not sure how far back in my build thread but I have alot of pictures and more if you need (its toward the end)

looks like custom bracket time .

Check these out, they are for a duel caliper but I bet u could find one for a single. This would be the route I would go.

Very interesting, i can just use the lower one. The only thing is the problem of the pads hitting each other after a certain wear but no biggie. Very strong rear braking with 4 piston caliper. Thanks.

No problem
