This may turn your stomachs people but I want a front and rear end for my... Yam 350 powervalve.

H model yokes and forks fit straight on, but are they the same size yokes as the L models?

Same with the swingarm, the H fits with minimal adjustment (to the Yam frame) but is the L swingarm the same width as the H model?

If any of you lot are breaking a bike and can offer the parts I need I can come and collect as long as your not too far away.(I'm in the north west around Leyland M6 J28)

:smt005 Good way to introduce yourself to the forum :smt002

L yokes have bigger centre pin and also they are 1mm larger on bottom clamp - not sure if top bridge is same or not. L yokes allow modern USDs like off the ZX636 , ZX10-R to be used and get radial brakes, no speedo drive though unless you use standard wheel and get spcers made up.

H1 / H2 Swingers are different looking to each other , H1 has upper subframe and H2 looks like the L model arm but both are same dimesions. L model arm uses a larger axle pin and has a double bearing set up one end and pretty sure its a tad wider too mounting into the frame.

Good luck on your hunt,

MM!

BTW, should your project get off the ground your welcome to post pics of build in the other bikes section :-)

Any other rear brake levers that would fit our bike?
I broke mine :(

Any universal ones perhaps?

A second hand one on eBay is looking to be £30 odd...

Can anyone tell me if there are any bigger engines that would fit in without much stress?

Kawasaki ZXR 750 H throttle cables part numbers 54012-1314 & 54012-1315 doesn't fit on H model. I bought them on Cradley Kawasaki to fit on my bike after reading that on this thread, but they are different and shorter, please, update the thread !

they fit H models, but not L models, H are 300mm disks, L are 310mm disks.

any 310mm 5-bolt disk should fit....should...

So the L9 I bought has aftermarket indicators.
The PO hadn't fitted Indy Spacers to fill the huge hole in the fairing.

Can't find any ZXR 400 specific ones.
Will they fit from a ZX6?

Cheers for the reply.

I get the feeling that OEM Kawasaki indicators are all the same shape.
Is that the case?
