Thought i'd have a play over the last week and got the ZX7R swingarmout that i got off ebay afew months ago out and see if i could get it to fit, i think i proberbly could have given enough time, but see ing that the bearings were buggered it worked out cheaper to get another off a zx6r that was a b...

I'm in the prosses of fitting a ZXR 9 swing arm into my 1100 b1 frame, I know i've read on here the shock mounts on the frame need to be moved out but cant remember reading an explantion for it, is it to do with the chain or tyre hitting the shock or is there another reason. Qustion two. I'm thinkin...

Thanks for the info. I'll probably go for a new front end. First a cuple of things i'd like to get straight in my head. Does the roll pin that holds the steme in the bottom yoke on my gpz punch straight through or will i have to drill it out? http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc270/convert1966/46-1...

Can anybody help? I was told in a previous post that a zx6 wheel would fit my gpz1100b1 forks,are the zx7-zx9 front wheels basicaly the same? I'm in the process of fitting a zx9r swingarm with a zx7r 5.5 rear wheel into the frame and would like the front to match. If I have to change the forks and y...
