Hello all,

What I do have is the new old stock konis that I had on the bike. They are in perfect condition

Are you planning to sell the Konis?
If yes, How much????????

I bought a set of ZRX shocks from the a member off the ZRX board last year for $100.00. They sell them all the time on that site. Your bike looks sweet. It looks like you came up with the same style and color seat I put on my 650. Good luck

Hello all,

Getting down to the end with my streetfighter, just need to wire it, do bodywork, and get the swingarm done. Pics of the bike are at :
kzrider.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=24367

Anyways, I decided I wanted to put a ZRX swingarm on the bike. I found a swingarm, have done the necessary machining to make it fit, but alas I have no shocks. What I do have is the new old stock konis that I had on the bike. They are in perfect condition and I was wondering if anywone had purchased a pair of zrx shocks and have decided not to use them. I really need a set and they do not come up on ebay very often. Also, if anyone is interested, I may be willing to sell the swingarm that was on the bike. It is a KZ750 swingarm lenthened 4 inches (originally same length as a kz1000 arm) with full length gussets on the bottom. The pivot point of the swingarm is welded in from the KZ1000 to match the KZ1000's wider frame. I used the KZ-750 arm since it allows for more clearance by the front of the wheel. (I had a 180 rear tire in it no sweat).

Thanks,
Josh Hansen

The original ZR-7 of the early 90's up to the point where they threw the old zx-7 motor in the frame are essentially the same as kz, gpz motors. The reason the horspower was done is due to EPA milder cams less compression and CV carbs. A zr-7 motor will bolt into Kz Frame except it does not have the lower mounting lug on the cases in the front. Everything else will pretty much bolt over onto a KZ650 or KZ750 including front end. The rear swing arm was mono shock and also about an inch and a half longer. It has no mounting points for twin shocks. Minor problem. The ZRX 1100 1200 swing arm actually will slide in to the stock frame with the exception of a little shimming. It also is about two inches longer than stock. But you can accept bigger rubber. The front end will also bolt right in with some different sizing on the tapered bearins in the steering neck. The problem now becomes frame twisting with all that moder rubber. The Zr-7 stuff is hard to find. A SV650 front end is identical to the Zephyr and far more easy to find. A lot of racers took the stock front end off for a GSXR front end and have them sitting around.
The ZR-7 motor can be spiffed up by sliding in GPZ pistons and cams. Still available. The Zephyr 550 also benefits greatly from simply putting in GPZ pistons and cams. My wifes Zephyr 550 dynoed at 69 horsepower with this set-up. The pistons slide right in and the cams dropped in. We slotted the cam gears and degreed them up. hope this helps.

Hope somebody can help. I'm building an 81 GPZ1100 with ZRX1100 forks,triple clamp,swingarm,shocks,front and rear brakes,and front and rear wheels.
Long story short - I dont want to buy a ZRX manual just to get the specified bolt torques for all this stuff. Can anybody shoot me the torques I need? Thanks.

Those shocks look very much like ZRX shocks. Im looking at maybe getting a set for my bike. A tad longer, but a very nice upgrade from stock.... Wayne
