need a longer swing arm! was created by lunchbox
well i don't need it, but i'd really like one. i'm starting to get the rest of my bike done that i've been putting off for so long.

what swingarms will bolt on to an 81 kz750e? i'd like to gain a few inches(swing arm, you pervert;) )without cutting and welding. my garage is pretty much the trunk of my wifes car, so something i can swap out in a day is what i'm looking for. i also need to be able to do it in a day because i have no other means of transportation, so i need to be up and running soon. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the KZ1000 swinger two or three inches longer than the KZ750 swingarm? If you want to come by and compare with my bike, feel free! That'd be a cheap improvement and it should be a direct swap.

Otherwise you're probably familiar with the GS1000 swap. I'm almost positive it'll fit into a 750 the same as a 1000, so you'll just need some washers to make it all fit into the frame. The rear wheel will need some spacers, also. I think I remember hearing that you could just take the GS axle spacers and add the KZ spacers, and it'll fit perfect.

I am not driving too fast, I'm flying too low.
