I cut my xr swingarm to fit my Z but I cut it 2-3mm too wide. I can feelsome lateral play. Any harm in using a washer to fill in the gap between the swingarm and the frame? or is the swingarm ruined.

I know I know.....measure twice and cut once.

Just take up the space with Brass/Bronze Washers from the hardware store and call it done..

Just make sure you paint the washer the same color as the swingarm or frame...

...and, don't worry, your secret's safe with us...

Anyone know what brake rod to use for this application? Will the xr rod work on the Z brake pedal?

It should work, yes...

..the XR70 brake arm, that is.
