I wonder if a ZRX swingarm would bolt on to a 79 GS1000. As long as you got the brakes and all the other stuff it could work. I have no idea how wide either swing arm is. Hmmm...Comment

Aluminum swing arm on ebay
I'm watching it, but really don't intend to bid.
I bought a set of Progressive shocks and springs, but don't remember paying that much! I'll have to go back and check.Comment

Thanks Nerobo - good pics. I was also hoping to see something from the original poster - like a close up of the aluminum swing arm that takes the clevis-equipped shock, to see how it was modified to take the bushing-equipped ZRX shock.Comment

I haven't finished mounting them yet. I took the sleeve out of my stock shocks and turned it down a little to fit the upper ZRX shock to the stock mount. I still haven't decided what to do about the bottom.
I cut off the clevis of my stock shocks to use as a mount for the ZRX shocks but it would require a lot of grinding and welding to mount them. The bottom bushing would work with the stock bolt but it would locate the shock outboard instead of center, which would require spacing the top out as well. I don't know if that will put too much stress on the mounts. I'll try to take and post some pics to further explain.Comment

It's too wide by about 1/2".

Anybody know if the 1980 GS1100E swingarm will fit a 1978 GS750E? I would like to keep my brakes etc.Comment

I just fitted an '80 E arm to my '79 1000...bolted right in.Comment

so here's what I did to mount the ZRX shocks: 1) knocked the inner sleeve out of the bushings of the old shocks, turned them down a little and used them as inserts on the ZRX shocks.2) cut off the clevis of the old shocks and welded them on the swingarm. Hopefully uploading the picture worked. I think it looks good and it made the bike much more stable in the turns.Comment
