Any idea which bike this JMC Swingarm is for?

#1 PostAuthor: njwmct » Fri Dec 13, 2013 8:18 pm

Picked up what I was told is a JMC swingarm originally for a Z1R
Guessed that it should fit a Mark 2 - but on closer inspection I'm wondering what bike it was actually for?
The front torque arm mounting point appears to be male when it needs to be female.
The rear shock mounts are also male.
The internal dias. at the pivot point are different on each side of the arm.
The serial no. engraved into it is 5742 - anyone know if that relates to the model of bike that it was intended for.
Anyone got a picture of a correct JMC Swing Arm for a MK2?

well, nothing with over 100hp cause of those eccentric adjusters- mine used to slip round and I gave up in the end.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who prefers straight edge

don't know what it is from but it should be quite easy to adapt to your bike. the rear shock mounts shouldn't be a problem your shock's should just bolt up against the lug. torque arm could be mounted the same way. personaly i would leave your mk2 as it is. it's a stunner :D :D :D :D
