I just stripped a 81 kz750/4 yesterday engine shot have every part but frame and engine. (Ie front and rear breaks complete lines and all...air suspension swing arm to triple tree bolts and all) starter, stator , drives haft mags rear disc front duel disc...just couldn't see it all get crushefld.. I have 80' 750 twin hardtail. Kinda hoping parts might interchange...NOT..... parts available

I have one that I am just putting on a Resto custom with a Tracy body hey let me send you a pic I appreciate your help brother thank you I have odds and ends of kz900 / 1000 Parts if you need any let me know I might be able to help

Pm sent

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

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.

Are there any shims what does that bolt right in. I thought you needed some spacers the bolt that in a KZ thousand ?
I am at 14514

On a dual shock swing-arm you want them as close to the axle as possible because this puts less load on the swing-arm which lets you build it lighter, but since the zx6 swing arm is a mono shock its built to with stand those forces and it doesn't really matter where you place them. You are getting the weight of a mono shock arm without the weight reduction of a single shock. not ideal. If you go this route watch the width. the KZ shock mounts will be narrower side to side.

Personally I would ditch the ZX6 swing-arm and go for a ZRX1100/1200 swing-arm. Lots of guys have done that swap, its already dual shock so that will save you trouble there. Alternatively Zephyr 750 swing arm if you don't want a braced arm look. Or GS110E for a period look but I'm not sure a 17" wheel will fit in there.

Whats the application? Show? Go? cruising?

moving the top shock mount is done to make the shock more progressive, It will be dictated by the length of your shock and desired swing-arm angle. Most guys move it 1-2" down the lower sub-frame rail. However the ZX6 swingarm does not have dual shock mounts so I assume you will be fabricating those. depending on how you do that I would expect that to add anywhere form 0-2" to the rear ride height before you have changed the shocks at all. In that case I would pay more attention to the swing arm angle, 10-13 degrees is considered the sweet spot.

things to note:
ZX6 forks are substantially shorter than stock, combined with moving from a 19" to a 17" front wheel a lot of ride height is lost.
The rake will change dramatically with your proposed setup, this combined with stiffer forks puts a lot more stress on the head-stock
ZX6 triple trees have significantly less fork offset.
Watch your rake and trail, I would use a calculator to run the numbers before committing to anything.
You will probably need an offset sprocket and/or notch the frame for the chain.

My order of operations would be:
figure out lower shock mount
dry fit swingarm and wheels front and back,
set rear ride height with a steel bar
measure rake and trail with stock forks and zx6 wheel - slide forks up triple tree to simulate ZX6 fork length
determine what rake and trail zx6 front end will leave me with
make adjustments to front geometry by changing rear ride height, or find different front end/ triple clamps if warranted
move upper shock mount
order shocks


Whats the application of the bike once complete?

Now i have understand your washer trick. Good Job SpecialGreen and stay away from Covid19.
