just found some new/old pics of my z!

Is that just a stretched stock swing arm?

rjpracing · 03-22-2008, 06:01 PM

yes it is!

patman · 03-22-2008, 07:57 PM

Very nice.I put a modified '83 XR80 swing arm on one of mine.I love it when people make their own parts.

JB4XX · 03-24-2008, 09:13 PM

Picked this up yesterday.

IT is missing cam gear and top cover amoung other things. I found a motor on ebay needs first gear, can the first gear from a 1982 model go into a 99 model? Was a $100 too much for this bike?

patman · 03-24-2008, 09:24 PM

I'd buy it for $100.00.Just go through the engine.It'll be fine.

Yes Patman, please let us know if the XR80 required any mod to fit the Z frame... Also, are XR 75 swingers the same as XR 80s'..?

Thx

^^The older xr80 swingarms for the dual shocks are the same as the xr75

Thx, it doesn't seem to be a tough mod to adapt it on the Z frame...

patman · 04-02-2008, 05:59 PM

If I remember correctly you have to cut 3/16" off of BOTH insides of the swing arm (where it mounts to the frame) and weld on a brake tab.Old XR75 and XR80 swing arms (dual shock set up) are identical I think.Close enough I think any way.Most people I've seen have used an XR75 swing arm,but I used an XR80.Worked out fine.The real expert on this subject as far as I can tell is Alindsay.
