Fit a ZRX 1100/1200 swingarm to a KZ1000J?

Is it possible without MAJOR modification?

Define major modifications.

I don't have any trouble manufacturing spacers and bushings but that's about where I like to draw the line.

yes it has been done on this board a couple time i know of.
check out cory(nakedfun) build thread.

Will do, thanks for the hint!

Yes. It is not bad. Main things are:

- Trim 1/8" off the aluminum pivot tube on the non-chain side (RH) and press the radial seal in until it is flush. remove and discard RH "top hat" spacer.
- You will need to space out your upper shock mounts approximately 1" I believe. I ended up welding in new upper mounts anyway so I got geometry that matched the sotck ZRX.
- Lastly, I have included in my thread a dimensional drawing for a shaft that slides into the arm locking it in that uses 2 x 5/8" grade 8 bolts from both sides to bolt the whole thing in. I did this so I didn't have to make a bushing for the stock 16mm swing bolt to adapt the 20mm pivot diameter of the ZRX. This would also have meant I would have to come up with a second spacer to lock up against the LH side roller bearing to prevent side to side movement.

Thanks a lot! I will try to locate a swing arm now!

I have a nice ZRX1100 swingarm includes concentric adjusters and brake torque arm for sale. I want $260 plus shipping from Canada. PM me if interested
