Quick swingarm assistance???

I found 2 swingarms on craigslist for cheap, only question I have is which one would be better to get? One from a 02 GSXR or one from a 07-08 CBR 600 RR? I have pics of both and your help would be greatly appreciated before I buy something I can't use. I would prefer to get the CBR on because it comes with the shock, just not sure if it would work with my 82 KZ750N

I prefer the looks of the suzuki arm myself,and I know theyre really close dimension wise in pivot area so they just need shims.

This is a late 90s gsxr 750 arm I modified for one of my turbo projects with 3" extensions and dual shock mounts built into them before welding B)

Well further inspection of the GXSR swing arm it looks like I would have to weld some tabs for my existing shocks and I was prefering to go with a monoshock set up

Sure you can run a mono shock,but theres a lot more fab work involved to make it work.
Personally Im just a :woohoo: sucker a sucker for old tech dinosaur stuff like dual shocks!

The first swingarm is from a 99 gsxr 600 it would be a better fit for your kz frame, just 2 pivot bolt reducer spacers and weld some shock mounts and your good.

I am thinking I might agree with you, plus the guy only wants $20 for the GSXR swingarm
