Swingarm Swap for 84 Gpz550 (monoshock)

[JFarhanbod]

I posted this on kzr but that forum seems kind of dead so I figured Ill throw it here too.

I cant seem to find any info on swingarm swaps for a gpz550. Does anyone know what would work? The bike is already monoshocked too so if I can use the existing points it would be great. From looking at other kz builds (750,1000) it looks like a 01-03 gsxr600 swingarm is the same length and you just need to make a guide for the inside since the kz bolt is narrower. This would be perfect since I'm doing a gsxr1000 front end swap and then I could get matching wheels.

Thanks in advance, as you can tell by this post, Im pretty clueless with swingarm swaps

Also, I have the stock swing arm and everything off so if anyone has swingarm measurements from a gsxr600 or zx6r that would be very helpful

some quick measurements from mine, and just in case someone in the future is looking, the gpz550 swing arm is 9 inches without the dust caps and 9 1/16 with the dust caps on which is 230mm.

Would I just have to find something that 230mm also and it should work? Also how do you figure out the chain and sprockets?

Do a search on KZRider.com on swingarm swaps. Most people have modified 900/1000s
and some 650/750s but I don't remember of any 550s. The front stem of the 550 is the same
as the bigger fours. The rear might be narrower. The newer USD forks will lower the ride height
also ask remember.

Yep I checked over there but there's nothing for the 550s. According to some people over there, their swingarms are 9 1/4 while mine looks to be 9 1/16.
