The top rails have not been cut off - there weren't any top rails. I'm not certain this is a Cal Fab swingarm. That's the only name that comes to mind though for an aluminum swingarm that fits a KZ900.4TheKZ1000 wrote: who cut off the rear top rails from the swingarm? The weld bead that is on the back top of swing arm used to host a upper stiffener bar. Yours are cut off?

Went out riding today and the KZ handles nicely with the swingarm and wider back tire.
I've had this bike for nearly a year and only rode it a few miles until today. Got home and noticed some oil near the ignition cover. I hope the leak isn't coming from the crank seal!

The broomstick drag bars look cool but I think I'm leaning too far forward while riding. Superbike bars may go on soon.
Checkout the license plate. Mad Max was already taken.

That's what I used, maybe a little thicker (but not 1/4"). Do what you want, but I BTDT.
