FZ400 Swing Arm question

#1 Post by Redline Junkie » Mon Nov 24, 2014 9:14 pm

Hi All,

I have a line on a FZ400 "mono cross" aluminum swing arm with complete rear tire for the same. Is this option a good conversion for the RZ or would the R1 be better? Thoughts?

Bob,
Not sure about the FZ400 arm but is the R1 swing arm even an option without major work?

Not sure about the R1? Maybe I better get the Dims on the FZ arm.

The R series swingers need frame work for sure.

Is it a FZR400 swingarm? If it is, Offroad did the conversion and it is very detailed.

Pictures on page 2.
FZ600 swingarms attach the relay link like the RZ(L-shaped). The FZR400 swingarm uses flat relay links.
Here is a picture of a FZ600(86-87) swingarm.
