An update on my somewhat Cooley replica. 79 GS1000
I gathered up all the ZRX 1100 parts I needed, swing-arm wheels brakes shocks and front end.
Had the swing-arm machined to fit front... stems swapped in lower triple... had to have bushings made to fit the bushing inside the ZRX swing-arm. A bushing was made for one of the ZRX bearings, they do not make a bearing to fit the rex beraring and my stock arm mounting bolt.
Shocks are getting bushings in the top mount so I can use the stock mounting points. Was going to move the mounts but I'll leave them be for now.
Medea blasting and powder coating next and we'll see what we have from there.
Rex swingarm bushing
Bushings in for mounting
Front end on
Swingarm on and shock mock up
As it stands now minus the shocks
As it was before the change
