What wheel you using - makes life easier if the wheel and swing arm come together.
ZR750, ZRX1200, XJR1300 all work.

The 600rs runs a 160 rear, first thing to do is find out the rear wheel axle size, rear rotor and if anyone else has done it before, save you a load of research. The Zephyr 1100 is a twin shock the runs a 160 tyre. im using one on my Kz1000 as we speak and the gs1100e swingarm is what i have on my Z1000.

I fitted a ZR 750 ( i think) arm because i didnt want sometimg that looked too new or too technical for what is a 40 year old bike.
Some cutting and welding but relatively straight forward, and a universe away from the original as far as weight and performance goes.
I know a lot of people hate the eccentric adjusters but its a bonus for me to be able to lift or drop the rear ride height by an inch if i feel the need to.

I have a zephyr 1100 arm in one bike and zrx 1100 in another. Very easy to fit, just need a sleeve for the spindle bolt.
