Bump up

Johnny, check out the post about the GS swingarm on KZ and you will find a post by baldy110 with pic's from his bike for some ideas. Its in the chassis section.... Wayne

GS swingarm good mod. I'm not a fan of the LTD's with the 16"back wheel. Try get hold of an 18"er. Sportier rubber available in 18" I think. 16" back wheel holds more weight for touring. That is why touring rigs use 15" wheels on rear.

you can use the stock hub but youll need to make some spacers,you can put whatever kind of rim wait a sec that probably has mags dont it?i prefer wire wheels myself but you can use a mag if thats what you have!you should be able to run a 140 tire without chain clearance problems depending on how wide your rim is!goodluck,happy wrenching!

gs1100 suzuki swingarm is a fairly simple swap on a kz900-1000,theres no reason to change the forks unless you reall want to!goodluck,happy wrenching!

ok,now i see the shock mounts but you had me wondering!looksgood!

baldy110 - I would be interested in purchasing your swingarm if in nice shape - can you PM me if still available, pictures would be appreciated if you have them, thanks, Dan B, Seattle
