new guy with a few rear swing arm and set up quest

hell all i have a 1982 kz1000 that i would like to get stretched. i have a 2004 factory gsxr1300 rear wheel complete with sprocket, axle and rotor.

with this wheel and lets say a stock kz swing arm that has been extended whats my option for brakes. i would love to use the stock brakes because when i have the stock kz swing arm extended i can just have those mounting locations moved around and can also save money and time looking for parts.

if this wont work what will i need to look for . i have found a couple of gsxr swing armes already extended or even a after market swing army built for the kz

i think my biggest issue is the rotor on the busa wheel is not going to match up with the stock kz brake caliper

any help would be nice

this is my ride ... ugly but mine lil

when i do a rear end conversion i try to use the brakes and everything(axle,spacers,caliper brackets etc..) from the donor bike that the wheel came from.

why not just mod a busa arm to fit your kz frame?

it will bolt right in and all the wheel,brakes everything else just bolts up.

you wanna go mono shock or dual shocks?

use the complete busa swingarm,with the busa brake caliper and rotor....much bettter brakes than old stuff....... :ohmy:

i would like to run the dual shocks the are already on the bike was thinking i could make some tabs for it if i had to run another arm............im not trying to be funny but how sure are you that the bussa swing arm will bolt in ...like most money is funny and dont want to waist it on the wrong parts ..anyone else ever used the bussa swing arm ..... are all years the same or should i look for a exact year

i said that because i have seen some really nice bikes on this site.......i dont like the street fighter look i want a low old school look.......if i can get my bike to sit like this ill be more than happy

sorry about that

The swing arm and wheel in that photo look an awful lot like ZZR1200 parts.
I think the ZZR1200 swing arm is 9.25-9.5 inches across the pivot.
ZX11 and ZZR1200 are the same width and interchange, as long as you use the associated parts.

Ugly? Says who? I absolutely LOVE it!

Details on tail end? Chin spoiler? I would like very much to duplicate those two parts on my LTD.

99-07 busas need custom pivot bolt reducer bushings machined out to make them a bolt in.

i would remove the upper brace and weld an under brace on,add the dual shock brackets and it is a bolt in deal after the custom work that accepts a 99-07 busa rear wheel brake etc...

here is one done.
