Any KZR Members Making / Selling Swingarms??
19 Oct 2012 15:31
I've seen a lot of great parts made by some of our members but I can't remember seeing any custom swingarms for sale. I'm looking for something close to stock length that would allow for a wider rear tire. I'm going with a 3.5" x 18" rear rim (on my '78 1000 A2) so a 150mm would be the max tire width.
I'm leaning toward a GS arm right now but even those seem to have gone up in price lately and I'm not that crazy about them anyway. I don't want to go all out for a $1000 arm like I did for my MKII. I just need something a little wider.
Any ideas?

I'll check with him, thanks. Love his work on the rearsets.
I'd consider CM, AL, or even good old steel.

rslingshot may be another option.
u may be able to find a kalfab.
kzrider.com/forum/23-for-sale/553199-cal-fab-swingarm
i wonder if 1 of the fab guys here could shorten a zrx arm? they r about 1.5" longer than stock.
i use a stock zrx12 arm and like it.
this is azrx11 arm
they look nice with added bracing as well.

Here's some pics of the round tube chrome moly arm, No tabs have been welded on for the shocks, brake arm or chain guard, never know what people want. This arm is made the same width as a busa arm so it will take pretty large tire. Comes with axle to fit your setup, 13" brake arm with heim joint ends, new bearing kit and chain guard tabs.
Sorry for the blurry pics, I hate this camera.

If you're interested in making another one Leon, let me know. 
I love the ZRX arms but I'm not sure I could have mods done to the pivot end....I could handle the rest for sure.
You're killing me Les! The pictures aren't showing up! :lol:

very simple mod.
just make a sleeve to go over your axle and into the arm. then trim the arm narrower. its all in my project post.
