ZRX 1100 swing arm in a Z1000A frame

[RussG]

Hi,
I'm fitting a ZRX swingarm in my Z1000 and am wondering which is best, reem the frame for a ZRX spindle or change bearings to take a Z1000 spindle?
Anyone know where I can get a stainless or titanium example of either spindle as well?
Cheers
Russ

I think it would be better to change bearings to suit Z1000 spindle

you cant get bearings to fit the standard spindle just sleeve the swinger bearings to fit youre 1000 spindle

Russ check my 1000J build out I sleeved the ZRX arm with off the shelf bronze bushes, very easy to do and change the roller bearing (that needs to be ground down a little)

Unless you already bought the swinger, it'd be better to get hold of a ZRX1200 swingarm. The 1100 took a 170 profile rear tyre which are limited in choice. The ZRX12 used a wider wheel and took a 180 rear tyre. The wheels wont interchange without a chunk of work either .....

Thanks GBear, your project has the answer to everything!! Superb piece of work 👍🏻👏🏻😃

Already bought the arm from Meerkat a couple of months back Charlie

Sorry guys, it was Lee's project not GBears, I was trying to be clever on my phone but my eye sight let me down, back on the pad now the update has finished..

zxr750 h1/2 wheels go straight in,5.5 inch for 180 tyre

Zrx 1200 wheel goes into the 1100 swinging arm, all I did was turn a spacer around and machine the rear brake The hanger is made out of tough metal, so you will need a good tool in the lathe. Look at the zrx owners site, they have all the details needed.

Zxr wheel needs no machining use wheel complete with zxr caliper hanger use Rex axle and caliper

[RussG]

Thanks guys, have a wheel ready and ordered the bearings and bronze bushes yesterday. Thinking I might let out thr swingarm by a mm since I bought sealed bearings, just need to find a caliper now...

My frames away at the moment having the top shock mounts relocated and a zrx1100 swingarm fitted by Rob. He makes race frames for a living and came highly recommended. I mentioned using top hat spacers so no reaming of the frame. He was not happy at that so I told him to do whatever he thought best. Will post pictures when I get it back.
