Patton, great kooking bikes! After you mentioned about what kind of swing arm you had, I remembered seeing this on ebay. A quote and a pic...

Kawasaki Z1900-900-Vintage -Performance Box Swingarm. This Swingarm was Made in England By DRESDA. It has less than 1000 Miles on it. It has Large Needle Bearings in the Pivot. It still Has Original Paint but (From Sitting)-The Bottom has Places that I would Paint. I bought this swingarm in 1977 and have not used it since. If you are Tired of that Wobble on your 900-This will do the Job. If you look up DRESDA you will see that they built Quality Parts for Better Performance. The swingarm measures 21 1/2 from center of front pivot to the end of the swingarm. The Inside of the back where the rear axel goes measures 8 3/4. You can run a stock wheel and tire or go to a bigger size with this swingarm. It was made for the Z1`900 and works very well. Please Email Questions
Thanks

1980 KZ650F1, Bought new out the door for $2,162.98!

Thanks Bluemeanie for the info about Dresda. Mine measures exactly 21 1/2 inches from center of front pivot to the end of the swingarm. But measures about 9 1/2 inches between inside edges of the swingarm at the very end of the swingarm. Without disassembly, it's hard to tell if it's 8 3/4 inches where the axel goes through (maybe??). I do know the swingarm does NOT have a grease fitting. Having never disassenbled the swingarm, I don't know what type bushings or bearings it has, whether bronze bushings, needle bearings, or whatever. For the time being, I'll just swear it's a Dresda. :lol:
