As of right now, all sets are spoken for...


A few years back, JayDav had a set of these Billet Stainless Steel spacers made up for the Cal-fab swingarm on his "life long" ( :lol: ) '72 H2 project.

Jay was kind enough to send one over to me so I could copy them for my KZ650 swingarm conversion on my '70 H1.

Basically, they just screw onto the existing upper shock mounting studs to maintain proper verticle shock alignment of a "wider" swingarm (cal-fab, gs1100, KZ650, KZ900, etc). Without these spacers, the shocks will not be in alignment and not function properly/safely as the tops will be "tilted" inward.

These spacers move the upper shock mount location OUT aprox. 13/16" or 20.6mm per side.

Thanks to another board-member (Mark S.), We had a few sets made. The machine shop had a 10 piece minimum @ $27.00/each ($54.00 set). I am keeping one set for myself, and I believe Jay is taking 2 sets.

So at this time, this leaves 2 more sets available at "cost", which is $54.00/set plus shipping, so lets just round it up to $60 per set "shipped" in the lower 48.

Here is a pic of all 10 spacers (Jay's original in the foreground).

Shoot me a PM in interested.
