More pics of the swingarm. You had me scared utill I measured. Looks like if I shave 1/4" of each side of the pivot area it will fit. I hope with removing that much that there will be enough inside metal to bore the bearing area out further to hold the bearings.
I roughly measured my kz and it's looking like 9.3" width. Because the swingarm indents right after the pivot its looks like the rest of the swingarm will clear unless someone seems something I don't.

i am doing an r6 swingarm conversion right now for chonus and i had to mill .3515 off of each side to get it narrow enough to fit it into a kz 1000,plus bore the bearing bore out deeper to move the bearings in to narrow it.

25.9cm outside to outside exactly. What was yours? Also the R1 pivot axle seems a lot wider than the the kz pivot whole, but I haven't pulled the KZ one yet. Did you have to modify the axle? Does it look the same as the one in my pic?
whew :ohmy: thats wide.i bet the legs are too wide to even fit between the chassis rails.
25.9cm=10.19685 inches.
most kz 1000 frames are in the 9 1/4 (23.495cm)to 9 5/16 (23.652cm) area.
so unless you are planning to do some major frame mods you may want to look for a swingarm off of a r6 or zx636 the 600's seem to be closer to our old kz's width.
have you looked at the airtech fairings ?

Ah shit. Well I am committed now. I already bought the R1 wheels. I will cut the swingarm if I have to, to make it fit. I will look at it this weekend to get a better idea. I will also post more measurements tonight. I actually had a good idea on modifying the swingarm previously but figured I had enough on my plate. I guess now I can explore it.
I looked at airtech and have bought from them before.

Thanks for the heads up on which kit I need. Is the 1100 the only one that has the large axle as far as you know?steell wrote: I looked for a long time for GPz1100 adjusters, but finally gave up.
84-86 GPz900 swing arm has four needle bearings and two spacers, and that's enough parts to do two GPz750 swing arm conversions, although you still need to make a spacer. I used 3 or 4 propane torches to heat up the swing arm around the bearings, then gently tapped them out, no damage to anything.

Okay ? I am pretty sure I will do the GS1100e rear swing arm set up and dual shocks, most like Koni gas matic's. I want this bike to have as much Vintage flare as possible. so I have to have wire wheels and a disc brake on the rear. The front end can be a bit more modern, still with wires and dual disc brakes. a Fork brace and stock Z-1 fender. So.....SO the question is Do i just buy / find better triple trees or a whole new front fork set up ? I am open for suggestions . Thanks !

Post the project w/images... We're picture whores here!
Welcome to the OBSESSED insanity....
very good post, and i cannot agree more if its a bike you plan on keeping and really care about more than just a beater you HAVE to split the cases and know what you got. a true restoration is every nut,bolt,seal, and connector gone over and replaced or reconditioned to oem or better condition.
