shockmounts for dual shocks on zx7 swapped swingarm was created by KZPens
I'm thinking about the best way to get some shockmounts onto a zx7 swingarm, I want to keep it dualshock. I thought about gettting some 6061 aluminum square pipe with 1/4 wall and have it welded to the swingarm, cut off part of the top and drill and tap it for the shocks.
Anybody have a better idea, somebody selling premade shockmounts ready to weld on ?
Got the frontend swapped too finally...
Not enough time in a day.

these might work for you or if you have access to the equipment, would be easy to make your own.

I used a 83-85 GPz750 aluminum swingarm, and I cut the bottom monoshock linkage mounts off the swingarm, milled them down a little, then had them welded on top the swingarm for shock mounts. They look just like the ones sold by Z1, but they didn't cost me anything

Thanks for the link

I have a 88-89 GSXR750 swingarm that was twisted and cut the
shock mounts out of them pretty much the same as the
Z1 enterprise item but with a plate welded on the base
