Lads, I'm looking for info on swing arms for my latest Z1 project. I need an ally swing arm, as near to the original length (or maybe slightly longer) & pivot width as possible. Shock mounts are not an issue as I can make them. I'll be fitting a wide wheel as well.

Who has fitted what to their projects? What mods have you done to make fitting possible? Any info gratefully received.

Cheers, Chris.

The ZRX1100 swingarm is almost a straight fit as I recall. You can find info in my build thread on what was needed to make it fit. Can run a 180 rear wheel too.

Many thanks Viktor.

Chris,

Most Suzuki stuff will more or less go straight in. I favour GSXR600 SRAD. Fitted to all of these;









Even got one on me current Z900 project.



Rear footrest mounts may need to be sacrificed.

Chris.
I'm gonna recommend the Yammy XJR swinger. It will take wider wheels easily, is 1" longer than the Zed and has twin shock mounts already fitted. These mean either you space out your top mounts to suit or move in the bottom ones if you need.
It needs about 6mm shaving from each side of the pivot to suit the Zed frame and a sleeve to marry the standard Zed spindle to the XJR bearing sleeve.
Rear axle size is good too for using Zed hubs.
