Ho-lee-sheeet! that motor is beautiful! Never seen the big fin treatment on a KZ,damn that looks mean. As far as plug and play swaps, it is very limited. The GS1100E swingarm is a popular swap which is very close to plug and play but will still take a bit of fitting. if you got the dough you could have Les Holt (member on here) make you one of his gorgeous chro moly swinarms which are built to fit. Since your changing out the body work what are you gonna do with it? I'd be interested in that awesome airbrushed tank

One owner bike. Purchased 1977. 24000kms. I bought it a few weeks ago and was waiting to put a post together as I wanted to have some sort of plan. The plan is to café it but I wanted to do some research.

Engine was torn down and race built. Lots of stuff from Schnitz Motorsports from back in the 80s to 2000’s;

• Drouin Supercharger kit. 3 sets of pulleys to change boost, one set is custom made.
• MTC - HD titanium retainers, 1075 8:1 piston kit, oil pan gate, Lock-up, Two Stage snowflake (WTF is that, lol)
• APE head studs
• Ferrea Titanium 36mm IN, 30mm EX Valves, bronzed seats
• Cometic 1045 head gasket
• O-R 73mm sleaves
• Liska – idle & cam tentioners, w/billet gear.
• Clark Race crank (welded)
• WebCam – Cams, racing tappets, valve springs. Valve Lift .384/.384,Duration 276/276 Grind # 119.
• Gate 5L oil pan
• APE – Cam plugs, Main bearing crank studs
• NGK BR8IEX plugs, accel wires
• Dyna green Coils
• water/alcohol injection,
• auxiliary fuel injector and fuel pump.
• Wolf hand bend header due to larger oil pan,
• 24krt gold and chrome plating.
• Extra fins added to aide in cooling head.
• Frame and Calfab swing arm have been reinforced and are powder coated,
• Lockheart Industries oil cooler.
• Bike also has a NOS kit.

You guys might notice some other parts not listed.

Altering the jets is as easy as it could ever be with two thumb screws, low and high under the seat. After having a triple I swore never to my best not to have more than two carbs which is why I love the b2 GPz and my TR1 I put a two into one carb manifold with a Harley carb on it.

Sooooo I guess you’re wondering how fast it is? It has the medium pulley on it now which is just over 105whp I think (dyno’d). It’s pretty fast. It’s been snowing here so I haven’t had much chance to dial in the jetting due to my higher altitude than the sellers. She needs some leaning but I have only rode it for 10 min total as I haven’t put insurance on it yet. It idle’s as good as my gpz except it idles at 1500 vs the gpz’s 1100. Kicks second kick warm, 5 kicks cold.

While Les’s funky 70’s LSD paint job has appeal that can pull it off today, mine, not so much. My plan is to café the bike, but "race" café style. So I have a full Bimota replica race kit coming from europe.

And what would a thread like this be without pictures and videos!

Fine Z1R, with cool swingarm and footpegs ( sports-style)...i like it !!!
Congrat`s!! ..have you pictures from the complete bike?

Hey Guys,

Thanx again for all feedback.
This weekend the swing arm will be fitted. Got the guys at work to finally use their machines to acctually do some important stuff likte components to my build :lol:

Needed to modify this part:



So I made a prototype:





Got the engineer to draw a 3D drawing



And got the guys running the laser cut it out for me.



I also got an axel and busings turned for the swing arm.




Now I don´t have any excuses not having the swing arm on by sunday ! :woohoo:

zrx swingarm. gsxr1100? 02 gsxr1000 its not as wide and you just have to space it then weld shock mounts. my thought when i was going to monoshock mine was to machine some new bearing mounts and weld them into each side of the swingarm then use the original z bearings and caps and pivot bolt.

Jaja mira que historia en Racing! Aqui del rojo desde chicos, un tio
nos llevaba a la cancha y nos regalaba siempre las remeras del club.

Cambiando de tema, que hermosa foto corriendo el campeonato. Veo que
tu chasis de Gpz tiene un swingarm distinto...es asi original o lo
reformaste? Otra cosa tus tubos de escape esta a milimetros del
suelo!!! Que coraje. El motor lo tenes std o lo potenciaste de
alguna manera? Perdon tantas preguntas, pero me llena de curiosidad.

Te felicito. Mandame mas fotos si tenes.

Un abrazo.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationThis is what I'm talking about.....absolutely mind boggling!! :blink: :blink:

A regular old GS swingarm just went for $345!! I literally couldn't get $50 for the same arm last year. WTF is going on???

just found your intro thread.

what would be wrong with cutting the ends off your current swingarm and welding in ends that match the wheel you want to use?
then just weld some shock mounts on for dual shocks and your set.

i added in extended ends in dougs old gsxr swingarm.here is the thread,

welcome.

ew,
rough call on anything close to bolt in to fit that wheel. :pinch:
then you wanna throw dual shocks in there :woohoo: .
your best bet (imho sir) is going to be try to match your axle size up with a early ninties gsxr or 03/04 zx636.
or give yor dimensions to someone that can custom build you whatever you want :whistle: .
