I picked up another GS 1100 aluminum swingarm. Now if anyone has ever tried to strip the silver anodize, that's a bitch! Now this one was painted black with real car auto paint! Plus it had primer under that. Double bitch. Just been sanding it and cleaning all the casting marks and welds.
Then I can blast it clean. Freakin OINK the pigster has sold them,
They clean up nice! 

z1kzonly I am trying to track down a swing arm from a GS1100 for my 77 Z1000. I have found one but it is bare- no axle.

Can you tell me exactly what I need for this conversion? Arm, axle, chain adjusters- what else?

Asking because the arm is bare and the owner will try and find the other parts that will be needed if I can let him know.
Thanks

The GS swing arm uses the same 20mm rear axle. The same 16mm size as KZ-Z1 pivot point, frame bolt.
You need to make 2 shims, about .180" each to fit in between the frame on a Z1-KZ.
Here is a picture of one I did a few years ago.
You might have to make a spacer or 2 for the back.
But should be easy if you have the parts from the stock Suzuki.
Good luck! The 2 spacers 16mm / 5/8" washer / spacer about 3/16" / .180" thick

Old pictures, I double clicked when loading?
Plus you need the Suzuki style shocks with the outer style clevis that mount to bottom of swingarm.

Thanks. I did find a couple of your old posts after asking. The brake torque arm is the std Suzuki arm I assume?
