Nigkat Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Hi Been thinking about changing the swinging arm on my kat. Currently using a zrx1200 but fancy a bit of a change. Thinking about a Tl1000r arm. Want to keep twin shocks. Anyone used a tlr arm got dimensions and any advice. Or any other suggestions, not blandit or anything to plain. Cheers 2 Quote Link to comment
wraith Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Wouldn't the bracing on the arm get in the way for putting shock mounts on? I've got a gsxr750wr swing arm in my kat, went straight in Also put a srad swingarm in my gsx1100f project and now put a gsxr1000 k1-3 swingarm in, went straight in the pivot points just need to make a sleeve for the pivot bearings to go down to the gsx spindle size Both I've changed to single shock 1 Quote Link to comment

Nigkat Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 Thanks, yeah like the look of the underbraced tlr arm, looks nice and beefy. Anyone got 1 in a kat, pics? 1 Quote Link to comment
