still have to cut slots in top of swingarm so the extensions will slide in but i need to drill shock mounting holes and radius extensions around the bolt holes.this will be about 4"over stock compared to a stock kz arm nitrous bottle mount will be built into front of arm where mono shock used to go;)

the slot for axle bolt is also raised 1/2"higher than a stock arm to lower bike even more than just short shocks,can ya sap in the weeds boys?:evil:

extensions will go into frame all the way to the vertical line so it will basically be one big chunk of billet t-6 aluminum from 3" inside arm to 3" outside arm now if i can just scrape up a undrilled stock kz1000 rear rotor and have outside diameter turned down so i can use a gsxr upside down caliper and bracket on back of bike!:evil:

my engine builder milled them out for me i get to engineer(oh yeah here it comes! )and design everything then once they are welded on i get to spend far too many hours filing and blocksanding every square inch of it till it looks like one big shiny chunk of billet aluminum!people will have a hard time figuring out what started as when its done

Which bolt do you need?

70.85.253.252/dspt/1988%20SP200/35.htm

i need the shock mount dimensions for a gs1100E 82-83 .i need bolt diameter and distance from center of bolt to outside edge of swingarm to make sure clevis shocks will clear before i can weld these in.

I emailed a very smart racer at old skool suzuki, she is into drag racing machinery with suzuki on the side, but mainly the GSX-R not the GS. She is very knowledgable and will help you more than you deserve. Please hold....

cool,thank you sir!
