I am new to the group so any help or ideas are welcome! I am an owner of a 76 Kawasaki Z1 900 and am looking to rebuild from bottom up. But I was wondering what swingarms are compatible for my bike? I’m looking for stretched 4-6 over and that will hold a 200/300 wheel. Also looking for sport bike wheels...preferably chrome. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Are you aware that the long swing arm will hurt the bike's handling? Ed

What's you use plan? Drag? Cruise? High Speed? Or just to be COOL at cruise night?
Budget dictates it all of course!
Don't go too long!
Try the old Suzuki GS conversion. 160-180 tire is pushing it.
For wide. And cheap, the Kaw ZZX 600? 2004-7. Thee parts are cheap on ebay. Really easy to convert, for 2 shocks like stock
Or have custom built to your specs by "PDM"
Your opening up the worm can / rabbit hole! offsets, frame mods, etc..
Keep an offset of 5/8" at engine.
Good Luck.
Here are a few things I did over the past 10 yrs.

Going with a 200 and larger tires really create a headache. I've done 190's without clearing the frame for chain clearance but it's a tight fit! With that said, i's suggest going to an outboard bearing sprocket setup and just go for broke. I can do a whole setup ready to ship that just bolts right in, all you'd need to do is set the back wheel spacing.

Why stop at 200?
