1978 Z1r - USD Fork Conversion & Swingarm

[stuntmonkee]

Hi everyone,

Still collecting parts for my Z1r project and have a couple of questions:

1. What USD (or chunky RWU) front ends fit on with minimal hassle as the Gsxr1000 forks I was considering need extensions making as there too short?

2. Do any nicer chunky swingarms fit easily (My Z400 has a GPZ750 arm for example) - not bothered if it need modding for twin shock?

Cheers in advance

I've got gsxr1100 USD forks on mine no problem. I believe early zx9r forks are also long enough.

GSXR or ZRX swingarms seem popular (can't comment as mine is single sided)

Be good see another modified Z1R.

Gsrx swingarms - I'm guessing oil cooled models? If so I have 1990 L model in the shed...

Do USD ZX9 forks fit to or is it just the RWUs?

Cheers for the help

.....Me too. fzr1000ru forks and brakes

You will more than likely need yokes made with a decent offset to avoid forks hitting the tank

Any more picture of front and rear ends, find the engineering involved ver interesting.

Interesting old thread, I think the forks I have are Zx9r B, they are going on the Z1R project, good news if they are

I'm fitting a ZRX1100 front end to a Gpz1100B1...if that helps for a wider choice of parts to source/look at.
