Swing Arm Sleeve for 1978 KZ1000A - Where to buy?

I removed the swing arm and clearly the left bearings were completely shot. This probably explains the side-to-side movement :woohoo:

The swing arm sleeve got chewed by the bad bearings on the left (somebody got the right wrist not under control) but the right side of the sleeve is still in spec.

The swing arm sleeve Les recommended from Z1 is in the mail and we shall see if we can get that sloppiness under control...

I think I have a similar problem on my 82 kz1000ltd. When I apply th :side: e rear brakes, the rear of the bike shifts to the left, as if the right side has no bearings. I had the bike down to the frame last month. The first time it happened, I checked and tightened the swing arm pivot bolt, which was very loose. The problem is still there though?
