I never realized that there was a steel swingarm?? I love the Aluminum ones! I have restored at least 5 in the past 10-12 years.
And yes, you will need a spacer of around .160" - .180".
I just seen this one on ebay? Are you the seller? Or did you buy It??
Here is an old picture of one of my restorations.
Livin in "CheektaVegas, NY
Went thru 25 of these in 40 yrs.
I SOLD OUT! THE KAW BARN IS EMPTY.

Notice the Zerk fitting I put in! Might hold a 1/2 tube of 6oz. grease! But it will never seize or wear out!.

Cool looking, period correct paint. You should be careful and shoot some nice urethane clear coat on it.
I am looking for a front Z1-H2, 6 bolt hole disc brake rim? Or an 18" aluminum Akront, Sun, Excel rim.

Those are BEAUTIFUL Scirocco! I would have to re-mortgage my house $$$ to buy them & ship from Germany!!!
Those wheels are on my Fantasy Dream Motorcycle! The 2 tires would be drag slicks!
