RZ swingarm and shock upgrade

#1 Post by vintagetz » Mon Dec 12, 2022 2:02 pm

FZR400/600 swingarm and late model R6 nearly NOS shock.

The swingarm just needs a little cleaning VGC, including the linkage, Rear axle,chain pullers, caliper mount with linkage.

R6 shock with reservoir, it has both rebound and compression adjustment and is virtually brand new.

Link to a poject that used an R6 shock: https://rdlccrazy.proboards.com/thread/ ... ond-hybrid

I have additional pictures, E-mail or PM me with questions

Asking $375 + shipping

Does it fit an RZ "as is" or does it have to be modified ??

has to be slightly narrowed at the pivot, at the asking price I will narrow the pivot. Using the R6 shock requires a new upper mount. I will sell the arm only for $300, it will be a bolt up with two spacer washers added to the dog bone connection at the arm. I think I will have to get this to a bolt up configuration unless someone wants it for less $

So if it is narrowed , it will work with the RZ shock ?

I can't live with the 18" on my FZR400! It's parked up. Maybe a guy could with RZ due to using bias ply instead of radials.
