I used a set of extenders from PMC. They have two types the one about 15mm longer than the other. Depends on the width of your swingarm wich one to use. i used the widest ones.
Then you just have to make two 14mm holes in the frame at the position you will have them and then weld them from both sides. easy match.
The parts i think you can order from Z-power and they do not cost much.

Any questions please ask. Cheers

Hi Morton,

When you say extenders...are they origionally intended just to fit over the existing mounting points?

i was going to get some turned up for me but If I can but a set over the counter it would maake life a lot easier.

thanks

Gary,
I think these pmc ones replace the originals which is why you have to drill and weld the frame.
They dont fit over the existing ones.

Gary, ones like this you're talking about?

Adaptor used to move top shock mount out on your old Zed when fitting a slightly wider swing arm, think the spacer is 14mm, about as much as you would want to go with this set up

Yeah..that's them.

So did you make them yourself or are they available to buy somewhere?

Gary, what I mean is the extension in width between the schock absorbers when using a wider swingarm compared to the standard one.
That is one of the reason (together with drivability and look) to move it forward on the frame also, because the frame is wider and you do not have to make too long schock fastening arms.

If you are going to use 5.5" or 6" rims and a 190 tire you need a real wide swingarm and extend the chock fastening points to get the schocks in paralell horizontal. Hope you understand what I mean, and you have to excuse my bad english :oops: Cheers

Did do a Dynorun on the bike yesterday and promised TLC to take a video.. here it is. :)

The Dyna 2000 ignition burned up during the first run so I have nothing to print yet. Will come back to the curve later when fixed.. The video speak for itself doe :fire2

I think is running a little to rich now and will rejet it until next try :twisted:

Sounds wicked :twisted:

I'm on a replacement Dyna 2000 - but luckily Dynatek replaced my control box free of charge - that was a few years ago & it's been fine since - now most of their stuff's made in China :??
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

I have heard that a lot of guys have their 2000 boxes replaced :|
Will try to write Dyna a mail and hear what they have to say, if there is problems I will switch to the PSII ignition simular to the one I have on my ZRX
