I thought that I read something on here about a KZ1000 swingarm fitting on the KZ650, and it being a couple inches longer for a cheap extended swingarm. Is this right? thx

I recall that being said before as well. I think it was wireguy who mentioned that.

yes it is ,but i had to change my name to wireman for now!witness relocation,fcc thing!haha i screwed my password up so now im the new improved wireman!anyway the 900/1000 swingarm will bolt on using the stock parts no extra shimming.you can use the 900 arm if you want to keep drum brake,but most 900 swingarms have bushings instead of bearings but you can have them line-bored and install the bearings!1000s have the needle bearings but youll have to make a bracket for the master cylinder.good luck,happy wrenching!

slide the wheel back in the adjusters and you can pick up another 1"and some change!these swingarms are pretty common and theyre cheap,and you dont have to do a lot of fabrication to make them work.and if youre building a sleeper bike nobodys gonna pay attention to a stock looking swingarm,where as that aluminum suzuki arm will set off the alarms!

Thanks for the info. Im not really going for a sleeper, just something you wouldn't expect from a 650. It has a few aftermarket items like a viper fairing, pods, clubman cafe racer bars, and a chrome MAC 4-1 pipe. (getting the 810 kit this spring using the 750 jugs, and doing some head work ) I was reading through the archives today about the gs1100 arm. Is it any longer than the KZ arm, or is the only reason for going with it the weight savings over a steel arm? Or can it hold a wider tire? thx

When I replaced the bushings in my 650 swingarm, they didnt have a listing so they gave me a bearing kit for a 900 swingarm. All I had to do was mill it down some, it was too long. Other then that the bearings pressed right in no problems.

the suzuki swingarm is about 2"longer than a kz1000swingarm which will make it about 3-1/4" over on a 650 thats an awfull lot of swingarm sticking out back there .they ae nice swingarms but youll have to do a lot more to make it fit.goodluck,happy wrenching!

I stretched a 650 disc brake arm for my 750, but I ended up selling it to another member here...
