[Harobikes1988]

So I have an 85 tri z that I have torn down to the frame to build it back up I rebuilt the top end and now am working on all the bearings for the swing arm does anyone know where I can find the bearings for the rear shock and linkage I also need a swing arm rebuild kit. I just replaced the rear axle bearings this past summer but I want that rear end nice and tight any help would be appreciated thanks

Swing arm kit I used all balls. 85 and 86 swingers are different size bearings. Here is a link to the 85 kit http://www.allballsracing.com/28-1189.html.

The lower shock linkage (dog bone) does not have bearings just collar and bushings, They are still avail oem but what is wrong with yours? The bushings are brass and press in. The collar is hardened steel so should still be useable if you have it. I just replaced my bushings and resused the collars.

Red or Blue are going to be your only new options. I wish he would add black so that a person could keep the OEM look or look good on a yellow/black Z. Good luck on your build!

Tri-Zecha is correct. I am the one who started the conversation with Moto Hose about making the new hoses an we went through the ringers with colors and such. They do offer Green Hoses but I cant think of any Z owners that wanted Green?? Yellow, white and Black seemed to be the popular colors that were left out. I sent him the original hoses to make the molds so I know they do exists, but I am sure you would have to put together an order of at least 10 per color.

I have head of a company in the UK that does them too. Not an exact fit but the few sets I seen worked great just had to trim some length. Not sure if they have green or are worth it after shipping but give them a try you never know?

I think the name is DPH here is a link to their website http://www.derbyperformancehose.co.uk/dph-sport-silicone-hose.html

Good Luck with your search.
