need pictures of braced drum brake swingarms

05 Jun 2013 19:10 - 05 Jun 2013 21:16

Getting ready to have a member make bracing on my stock kz900drum brake swingarm ....was wondering if anyone has pictures of kz's -Z's with drum arms that have been webbing/ braced?
Thanks

this is a disc brake...but i like the lay out of the bracing a lot...would need to go topside...i guess the brake arm could be mounted to the brace if it was underside....but i think the stay arm and drum would be better left in the position it is now

Goes around the chain, I don't see why it couldn't go around the stay.

dutchz did a over-brace on his stock z1 arm with drum brake, probably just flip it to the bottom.

Man, that Dutchz bike is still the gold standard of modded Zs, and his pics are everywhere. Whatever happened to him?
