custom front sprocket offset

Well damn, hadn't realized that. The wheel in my pic isnt the right one, just a roll around wheel.

Have to say the zx swingarms are a hell of a value, cant buy the needed material to build a swingarm for what you can buy them for! Great looking bike too! Cant wait to see it done

yes they are .
it takes some machine work at the pivot to make em a bolt in deal.

plus a modified caliper mount if you want to run dual shocks.

Nice caliper mount, Leon, too bad it wasn't available when i you did my swingarm. Do you still build custom front sprocket ??

13mm with 520 gets the job done I really don't know how many miles few thousand on this one easy!
03 zx6 swingarm there was no spacer on mine when I pulled the 14 off but it had been regeared before
I got it

Nicely done, That's what i am aiming for. Are you using the 03 zx6 wheel ? Did you have to use any custom chain roller on the lower part of the chain to keep it from hitting the swingarm ? Thanks for posting.

to the best of my understanding i believe i can answer under rule #2 of the advertising policy.

yes i can fab you an offset sprocket.
after crashing my head against the wall building the billet caliper bracket i built for you and then it turning out to be wrong really got me scratching my head.



so i came up with a way to cut the original bracket and weld a piece in to rotate it back to clear the shock.blend the welds out and they look pretty decent.



heres wyocowboys mounted on his bike.



how is the hokahey bracket working out tony?

It fits fine on the swingarm, but the extra caliper is positioned too far back on the rotor.Yours looks good. I still need to measure the front sprocket offset with another wheel/brake setup than the zx6 and decide which one to use.

And yeah ram had 1/2" offset i believe

Not to hijack the thread, but can anyone tell me what shox these are? Would they bolt on to a 1980 kz750h?

Those are EBay shocks. A number of overseas vendors sell those. Just search on EBay for "ZRX Shocks" or "Cafe Racer Shocks" and they'll come up under different lengths and mount types.
