Long arm mod's.

Got started on the swing arm mod.'s
First cut.


Next cut to take the bend out. Cut three side's and used the press to streighten the
bend.

Ok here's the pic's and how I did it.
The stock KZ650 arm and the stock GPz arm.

Whipped up this little jig to hold it.

Use'd some spare ecentric's and the swingarm bolt for a way to hold the arm to start with.

Cut the end's off the GPz arm and started fitting thing's back together
Got a little long at first.


Ended up at 8" stock wheel base adding 5-1/2" to the GPz arm.



Stock arm VS GPz long arm.

Got the arm back today so tomorrow should get it back on and
see about the chain and new mount's for shock's.

Got a little done dressing the weld's. Cleaned up were Mac added
a little gusset were I cut and bent the tube to make it straight.

Notch in the lip is from when I did the lower wheelie bar mount's
I'll have Mac built it up when he weld's the new shock mount's.


Both side's are at this point but still a bunch of work left to paint it black.

Stuck the arm on today so I could count link's and order new chain tomorrow.


Think I'll fill the empty spot with a little blue bottle.

Got the new chain prep'd today any one need some o-ring's for their chain ?
What a PITA pickin the o-ring's out of a 120 link chain.

Here's a video of why I did this to a brand new chain free horsepower.
Click the pic and see how stiff an o-ring chain is.
