or arthritis spray?

cool consider it a case what your beer and cheers mate

would it be reasonable to think the swinger off the 7R will go for a similar price?
Think Ninjanoz will be interested!

a case and its yours...

Couldn't you make better use of some glucosamine or fish oil?

Beer is much better pain killer....

Thanks Jim I just got hold of one so all good now, I have a ZX7 caliper, Bracket & everything ready to go, I just need to paint the ZX7 swingarm black & I will swap it all over

I thought about fitting a ZX10 swingarm on my ZXR 750 but I really could not be bothered spending the time & money on a 20 year old bike, I am pretty set on getting a ZX10 for my next project anyway

You would be much better off fitting the rear brake, Wheel & axle from a ZX10 when you do the conversion, Saves a lot of stuffing round, I cant remember exactly but the ZXR/ZX7 has a different size axle to the ZX10, You can change the bearings in your zx7 wheel but you would have to stuff around with spacers & lining up all the brake & sprocket setup, I think I would prefer to just buy a good set of ZX7 lightweight race wheels one day that will bolt on my ZXR (With ZX7 forks & swingarm)

I can find a few links for you that give you all the bearing numbers & spacer dimensions etc to fit the ZX10 swinger on a ZX7

Would be good to see how you go with the ZX10 swingarm conversion though, Take lotsa pics & post the details as you go

I'll take the 7R swinger if its available then?

Which bike are you going to convert Jim?

Fighter

Yeah I thought so, Are you going to change over to ZX7 forks also?

All I needed to fit the ZX7 wheel in the ZX7 swingarm was the left side wheel spacer part number 92143-1784
I can use my axle, Right side spacer & sprocket hub for the conversion

Also found this site is handy (Free postage for orders over $50 too>

They (Mototech) have plenty of parts diagrams but the ones they dont have can be found in the link below then search the part number at Mototech

I have placed an order with Mototech so I will see how the service is?

Sorry Piggo, Back to the ZX10 conversion

thank you i really appreciate the help you are giving me and you are right i think the wheel and brakes are the go i will be doing the conversion slowly due to time and money and if all works yer the swing and brakes will be there for some one so i am going to just gather all the gear required to do it then go for it i aqm a storeman at a machine shop so spaces wont be a problem to be made just got to get hold of some drawings. have seen a few with the conversion they look good and also cuts a bit of weight off the bike,me not being a strong fella will help me. dont want to get rid of it as i love the thing. so if that swing arm is still there would be great to get it and thats a start of project. once again guys thanks for your help

Yeah you have the right idea, Make sure you get all the parts first then do the conversion, I have done the same with my ZXR even though I am only going to a ZX7 swingarm, I might go to ZX10 one day maybe when the ZX10 parts have dropped in price a bit more

This is a good bunch of links for anyone looking at doing the swingarm & fork swaps

Right.

I'm going to Bathurst on Monday.

Pm me with where I can find you and your phone number.
I'll be there from about 730am through to about 2pm.

wattie enterprises to the rescue again

I do what I can, and try what I can't, just to make sure...

Wattie, What is the other ZX10 swingarm you have like? Does it have much damage?
Can you post some pics of it

I am thinking about collecting the parts over time & doing the ZX10 conversion at a later date
