got the brake anchor machined last night.

now just need to get it welded .


kraber,
it depends on what your application is going to be,as ed mentioned.
the swingarm on my black z1r i pictured is 3" over stock which is what i felt i needed to get the gaps above and in front of the wheel where i thought they looked the best.
because i also added structural rigidity and a larger contact patch the extra length has not negatively affected the handling.if i was to go much over a 3" stretch you are getting into pro street /drag race territory.
prices vary on swingarms depending on material and design.

all of my contact info is on billybiltit.blogspot.no/ hit me up and we can work out exactly what you want .

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI found some 54mm head light brackets, and used my original bucket. If you need more info you can PM me.

It was quick and simple for now. And cost effective. Unlike some other components. Lol

Interesting..

I am going to look into this.

I picked up a couple gear clamps and made my own bracket, used the stock headlight bucket

Hopefully the pictures uploaded. I've been working on this awhile and it's starting to get close to being wrapped up but still have a lot to do.
It's a 1980 LTD 1000. The front end, wheels and brakes are all 2007 zx 10r and a 4" stretch swing arm from Terry Mcintosh. It had already been bored with a wiseco 1075 kit, Webb cams and Mikuni RS 34s. We're doing new rings, valves and after market cam chain rollers/sprockets. Right now I'm waiting to wrap up a couple things before everything gets taken back apart to get powder coated. I'm hoping to be throwing everything back together and being dialing it in just in time for the middle of winter but this will basically be replacing my 750 ltd as my daily driver.
Hopefully all the pictures work. This last one is the bike as I bought it.

I have the swing arm centered, but my rear tire may be slightly off center as I remember the ZRX1200 when they went ot the 180 rear tire and 6" rim, offset the wheel assembly in the swing. Won't be able to tell until I get it on a jig. I also need to make a taller kick stand!

I have same swingarm set up and nearly the same forks. My rear wheel is off center by about .090". The odd part is I did build a jig, and the front and rear are with in .005' of centerline to centerline.

There was a 3-4mm tolerance at the factory for the frame neck centerline to rest of frame. Muzzy when he built the superbikes would saw off the neck and remount it centering it on the rest of the frame. I think unless you want to intentionally misalign the two wheels you may find that it is just going to be off center.

Frustrating.

I used a early LTD bracket on my 1000 that mounts to the gauge bracket studs. Made a copy but slightly wider for the 8" Gs1100E headlight on the 900. Works great and super simple.

Thank you !!

I have been offline for a while. The other bike (Suzuki)
has been getting some attention. I am now turning back to the KZ as funding permits.




I leveled the bike and set it on a scale, firs the front, then the rear. Weighs in at 440 pounds with half tank fuel. A little heavier than I was shooting for. Wanted to hold it at 425 dry. 2.2 gallons of fuel weigh about 13.75 pounds, which would give it a dry weight of 426.5 pounds. Not bad.

The gages are on, I plug them in and the signal lights are now all jacked up. I suppose the LTD model was just a wire or two different than the standard, so I have to pull each lead out of the connector and resort some more wiring.
