Gen 1 Rear axle adjustment blocks questions

[Down1Undah]

2006 Gen 1- Hello everyone, I had some questions about the rear axle adjustment blocks. When I purchased the bike, it had swingarm extensions on it which I kept on for a time but am looking to revert back to stock wheelbase. I believe that the stock adjustment blocks were tossed by the previous owner when he put the extensions on, might be wrong on that though. The big question is are there any bikes that share the same axle adjustment blocks found on a stock gen 1? Or if Gen 2 blocks would be compatible? Any and all help is greatly appreciated

Maybe check aftermarket and search 'Busa to see if they cross reference any other models?

Mine look like this. Could probably find used OE units on eBay for cheap.

Yup that’s exactly what I’m looking for, on ebay there’s a few that look good but the majority is for gen 2 and 3 unfortunately.

you can get stock ones here and it looks like they are the same part number from 99-2007. Items 19 and 20. 2000 Suzuki GSX1300R Rear Swinging Arm (Model X/Y/K1/K2) | Babbitts Polaris PartsHouse

What timing...i just tightened my chain and now I noticed it does this

Blocks are at the same distance from rear-end of swingarm (on each side). Chain has just enough "play" to be pushed up to the bottom rubber cushion.
Stock gear ratio/chain length. No shark teeth or missing teeth on sprockets.

Chain needs adjusted with You the rider on it.
It's obviously going to be more loose without you on it too.
Tight links will make the chain bounce around more as well, if you have any of those.

Sit on it, roll the slack forward, so the top of the chain is tight, and you have about 1.5" of up and down movement on the bottom side

The adjustment blocks are pretty easy to find in either OEM or aftermarket form.
