Front end swing arm and new wheels and tires

tappat wrote: BlackBeard said the same thing about modifying it, What I'm trying to accomplish is to have the back end of the bike sit up higher and have the ability to place a wider back tire on the bike. is this possible with stock parts?

hard to go much over a 140/150 in the stock arm.
zrx shocks like on the black and gold bike will raise the ass end.
the front forks can be dropped through the tree's to lower it.
but the right way would be to shorten the fork tubes.

You could drop it about a inch or get some risers with lower bars to drop it more.

an aluminum gs1100 swingarm( like 83 model) can hold a 160 but uses a shock with a clevis instead of the eye like a kz.

leon

there is always the custom swingarm option. :evil:

here is the custom chromo underbaced arm i built to stick a 6 inch rim with a 200mm wide rear tire under my stock not modified 1980z1r.






it is also getting an 05 gsxr frontend mated to the matching r1 wheel hung on it also .
this bike will be returned to stock one day.

if done right it can be returned back to stock at any time.

Really? Show me some examples of that happening. Ed

It's your bike, get out the saw and hack away. You could sell the good parts and use that money for your build.

$400-600
You should PM Leon. Due to forum regulations he is not allowed to offer his services.

Nice bike you have there..........I used gsxr1100 swingarm, forks, brakes, etc for my build............swingarm needed a couple spacers on each side and a sleeve for swingarm pivot........weld on shock mounts.......head bearing swap for new forks but can easily be returned to stock if need be in the future.
