Looking for a deep braced swingarm davida/metmachex/jmc, something that needs work going to end up black, missing bits what's out there, to go in my Z1-R may monoshock if the right arm comes up at the right price

I have a Metmachex that I bought for my Z650, but ended up fitting another one in the end so this one has been an ongoing project really. Its not a deep brace though - its shallow brace.

Its like the one pictured, if its any good I will dig it out and take photos of the actual item - it would need painting or polishing, but its had inserts added for paddock stand bobbins. The chain guard mounts had been cut off, but I had some new ones added - they can be cut down to fit whatever setup you end up with (like I said its been work in progress for ages lol)

It would have the thicker rear axle for the Z9/1000 etc and the correct spindle adjusters cos I used the smaller axle rig on my 650 :)

The front end is the same on all the 650/1000 etc cos I have a 1000 swinger in my 650 at the mo

Any good - give me a shout

Why do I persist in debating with idiots ? I really should know better :)

Dero, do you know if that will fit a Z1000, coz it looks like there’s a mounting for the torque arm on there, maybe they are made to fit both? Sean.

I’m not sure it will fit the Z1000.

I took it off a 1976 Z900, it was running a 140/ 80/18 with room at each side.

Slightly off-topic, I know but, does that under bracing on the JMC / Metmachex actually do anything?
