What kind of swingarm is this?

Hey!

When I got my Z1, there came a swingarm with the bike that I don´t recognize at all. Looks a bit like the bimota aftermarket swing, but it has no marks.

Anyone of you have any clue? Its 490mm, made in chromemolly.

Are they hard to come by, or should i feel no guilt putting the saw in it so i can extend it a bit? :evil:

I'm not sure who makes the swingarm in question but I bet it's pretty rare. Stock swingarms can be picked up pretty cheap if you want to extend one.

Yeah, thats what I was thinking. Might as well get one made instead of butchering that poor one If anyone is interested in it. Just give me a mess

It looks like it is home made. Not a bad job, but it doesn't look like it came from a factory. Ed

When i ran it in the blaster just a quicke to get the paint of, you can see the welding on some points looks very ruff, and the lack of markings supports your theory Looks a bit like this when I checkt Ebay

Yep, I was thinking it resembled the Bimota also...but no markings...too bad.

Looks home made, nice average job.
Just cut the back off a couple of inches, get some matching chromoly rectangular tubing, get it a little wider if you need. Then use aluminum slider blocks for your axle.
You got a nice start for a builder, half the works done. As long as the front bolts up to a Z1 KZ frame.

Yeah! That will be the plan It was on my Z1 when i got it, so ill just start ripping it up now
