I think i am leaning towards using the gsxr 1100 swing arm as well, since i have the complete rear end. But instead of mono shock, i’d like to keep twin shocks i think.
This is the approach that has the fewest variables and the greatest likelihood of working well.
Though i do wana ideally use the zx10 shock i have, had it for years, and with the gsxr 1100 linkage it sits well.
Throwing unrelated swingarm/linkage, shock, and frame from 3 different bikes might sit well, but the odds of it actually working well under dynamic loads are extremely low. For the swingarm and linkage to work right, you should be fabbing mounts on the frame that match the GSX-R1100 geometry. For the shock to work right, it should be dealing with the same geometry and weight as a zx10, which would be wildly different from a CBX with a GSX-R1100 rear.
A CBX is not a cheap bike even before you get into custom fab work - I don't understand trying to build it around a so-so $150 used shock.
I 100% agree with you, and believe me i know what you are saying.
Using that shock isnt really about saving money, its just one of those things that i might spend more $$$ to incorporate than its worth it. Its silly, i know.
I have done plenty restorations, but not much high performance suspension stuff.
If all else fails, i might just put on a couple shock mounts and use the twin setup. But then i dont want to have that long a wheel base.
But frankly i havnt touched the cbx in a while.
I am the kinda person who plans, but is driven by rationality.
Me wanting to put the zx10 shock, and actually using it, two different things at the moment. I am weird that way.
I will show you why i went the route i am going, i am pretty sure it will be a twin setup
