I’m going to be moving the shock mounts so that I actually raise the rear roughly an inch over stock once I get the swing arm stretched.

I looked at swapping to another swing arm but couldn’t find anything that would fit without modification and yes, I wanted to keep the stock mags. I also didn’t switch to a square aluminum one even though it is stronger and lighter… I just don’t like the look of them.

By also moving where the shocks mount to the swingarm back you’ve also effectively lowered the bike and the spring rate a little, but by how much, I dunno. Looks alot more involved than I would attempt.

I’m currently doing a swingarm and shock swap to my GPz550, so I’m definitely geared more that way, but a ZR550 swingarm should theoretically bolt right in to your kz750 and keep the same axle diameter so you can still run those sweet mags with little trouble. You also get those sick eccentric axle adjusters that I’ll be using on my 900 swingarm swap into my GPz. The ZR swingarm would look a few years newer, but I think its sweet and its probably the lighter solution.
