- 2020 Kawasaki Z H2 Supercharged Streetfighter Product Development Update: Bolt-on Swingarm Extensions Installations Video with Additional Considerations Discussion.
Bolt-on swingarm extensions are a quick/easy/economical what to safely increase the wheelbase of most motorcycles so as to increase high-speed stability and decrease wheelies for quicker E.T.s at the drag strip - BONUS… stretched bikes look MUCH COOLER!
Now, before we hear from the “OMG…why-Why-WHY would you ruin the look and handling of such a fantastic machine?!" Gallery, please remember this video is not intended for you. We will address riding a 220+ RWHP sportbike with a 57” wheelbase soon enough.
For those interested in the benefits of a longer wheelbase, regardless of which make/model you ride, please watch on as Brock not only discusses the proper installation techniques in regard to bolt-on extensions, but he also outlines additional considerations to address while doing so. Having all of your “ducks in a row,” as they say can help alleviate frustration as well as additional downtime.
We hope you enjoy: 2020 Kawasaki Z H2 Supercharged Streetfighter Product Development Update: Bolt-on Swingarm Extensions Installations Video with Additional Considerations Discussion.

Will you make a extension for the H2SXSE? I need one bad!!
@@perfectionisaprocess9099 Extensions are not possible on a single-sided swingarm. You can purchase a longer version from Roaring Toyz for the H2. Not sure if it fits the H2 SX?
what is the link for the video for rear shock adjustment you were talking about, and mentioned?
@@luisgomez4259 czcams.com/video/ZsIcE5GoGvk/video.html
Hello! Brock , i would like to clarify a thing about the Loctite you are using ( i do not think that the blue bottle is pure brand Loctite but anyway )
the thread locker is an anaerobic adhesive that applies in drops to the threads of fasteners. It then polymerizes into a thermosetting plastic which blocks the threaded assembly. These products can only be used to fix metal to metal.
it will only hardened in absence of air and metal oxidation, you can leave the liquid on the table and it wil not hardened.That is why the bottle seam half full when you buy it , it needs air to stay liquid , also a good practice is to not touch the bolt with the tip of the bottle since any metal particule will activate it , just let the drop fall on the thread.
As for the red color you need to heat it good to soften it to be able to remove the bolt or nut.
Easier than the XL spreadsheet is a website called gear commander, they have a pile of different bikes with all the factory information and allows you to modify stuff and see the difference.
Got a kick out of the attack dog guarding against someone inadvertently pumping the brake lever/pedal with the caliper off. Got extensions on a Suzuki B-king...worthwhile addition for putting the power down and keeping the drama factor at a minimum. Great vid.
The wide-open throttle Power restriction blows my mind. But the fact that Brock says big brother says nope, nope, nope, is hilarious so true.
From that pov, it has the great performance as is... unlocked think there might be a few less on the roads.
That's why bicycles are available also.
Wobbly sauce - And from your POV, we would still be using horses and buggies, and you wouldn’t be able to share your short-sighted thoughts with millions of people on an Ingenious cell phone.
@@jakeviveros9439 That was not what was said. But that horse and buggies had there own set of issues.
Man I absolutely love your channel. And I found a full Brocks exhaust for my 2012 Ninja 1000. I haven't purchased it yet because of financial reasons 😔 but I am saving for it and I can't wait. But you always go into great detail when you are doing something and I really like that.
Glad you like them!
If I trust you to do that on my Z H2, I trust you with my life, and I would. Excellent work and presentation.
I appreciate that!
Amazing work as always!🤪
Good stuff as always, Mr. Davidson! 👍
👨👩👧❤ 📺Brock's Performance
I installed the swingarms extensions truly makes a difference. Very happy!
@Bullfrog Z H2, Thanks for your input and glad you like :) If you wouldn't mind leaving a product review on our site, I would really appreciate it: bit.ly/35zPK9p
@@BrockDavidson absolutely done deal! I'm installing the H2 clutch conversion kit and springs. I'm hoping to hit 9 second mark fingers crossed.
Good Luck! It's definitely in there, just gotta get it out :)
@@BrockDavidson ran a 10.44 thank you! looking forward to more parts to roll out.
This might help you: blog.brocksperformance.com/faq/what-launch-technique-does-brock-teach-to-rookie-drag-racers/
Good vid!! Not a drag racer but great to see how its done/whats involved!! THANKs for your time!!
Glad you enjoyed it
@@BrockDavidsonhello brock, i was searching for swingarm extensions for my 2017 s1000rr and found out that you only have extensions for the 2020
Did you make any for the 2017 s1000rr? Or do the new ones fit the old swingarm too?
We used to offer them for the earlier RR's, but discontinued them due to poor sales. The 2020's will not fit.
Cool video. 4 inches is a lot. Most people might not think so. But it is. Specially if your doing track days and adjusting your bike. People would be surprised how bikes react to being adjusted.
The late great David O. Still think about him all the time...
I have been installing some of your products and enjoying the videos. When i was installing the extensions on the 2020 H2 they came without instructions and at the time i could not find anything online. I spent some time and removed the stock brake stay because the tire was extremely close to the stock brake stay and i was concerned that as the tire heats and expands it could possible rub or someone could decide to run a wider tire or tire with a different profile and it probably would make contact. I was trying to make the safest decision and talked to the customer about it first. The owner of the bike said it was for track use only and he had no intention of ever going back to stock wheel base. Once again great videos and some good tips.
@Ken, please go to the product in our store. Everything needed to purchase and install are there.We had written instructions the day the extensions went live and a video within a day or two after. Removing the lug is fine as long as the integrity of the swingarm is not hampered. The lug can stay in almost all case and the tire gets narrower as speed increases. If the profile of a particular tire allows it to rub, then the lug needs to be ground down ( we us a 4" Makita disk grinder) until at least 1/8 inch side clearance is obtained. 1/4 can usually be gained without the need to get into the swingarm material.
You make me want to buy stuff,,, lol. That's a great extension. Looks built right to me.
Content quality is incredible on the channel Brock, always enjoy learning something new 👍.
Glad you enjoy it!
Fantastic video brocks are you using a new camera the picture quality is superb 👌👌
@Tom - we upped our game everywhere. New camera, mics etc... cant wait until we can do some on-road video with our Hero 8 :)
I had to re-watch the Swingarm break like 10x lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Glad I wasn’t the only one 🤣
Beautiful dog!
Mightivac... I have thr Vaccula the original to that Mightivac. It's fantastic
YES MASTER BROCK! 🙏👌🙏
just installed new tires on my z900rs and was surprised how the rear brake pads had to hit the clip in the front. First time I installed, I missed the inside just like Brock was showing us. Realized it before I tightened it down and corrected it so both brake pads were in the clip. That was a bit of a shocker for me how that's designed. Less weight I guess!
Nice catch!
Anyone know where you can buy one of those twisty things he used to hold the caliper out of the way? Coolness!!
Much respect Mr. Davidson. Big fan. You're my inspiration.
Thanks for the kind words @Ronald - we all try hard around here.
Dang Brock you have lost weight buddy! Looking good!
Thanks! I have lost about 30 lbs. I need to lose another 10 to be able to race comfortably in my leathers---unfortunately, this has been covid delayed too. I will be ready in the springtime :)
Ahahaha the attack dog works even better than the aerosol can cap and masking tape! 😆😂🤣
Brock love the videos man keep them coming .
I noticed you slimmed down good for you man .
I'm trying. The last 10 lbs. are as tough as getting into the 7`s, lol.
@@BrockDavidson Aint that the truth !! And the older i get the harder it gets .
Brock, you are always up to something new. Always improving. These swingarm extenders, are they bike specific or will they work on a Gen 5, 2017 ZX-10RR? I like the efficiency of these verse having to swap an entire swingarm. And the brake line extension and speed sensor extension, are these universal or for Z H2 only?
The extensions and brake line are bike specific, the speed sensor is universal. Glad you like our work.
great video sir brock! always watching here in the Philippines,watching your son helping you brought back memories of my late dad,we used to work on our car together! 👍😁
Lasting memories for certain, thanks for watching and glad you enjoy 😁
@@BrockDavidson i really enjoy all your videos,sir,esp the ones about gixzilla😂,im also a bike and car enthusiast, also a bike handyman,i really enjoy working on my bike😁
Would love to hear back from you on this one ! I have a 2007 z1000 and i have not been able to find any swingarm extensions. If you can point in me the direction with what kit will fit on my 2007. Thanks hope to hear from you
Try - roaringtoyz.com/
Question, I see that the front was lowered by sliding the forks up. How many inches was it lowered in the front before you get stopped by the handle bar?
Aroun d 1" - but the actual measurement does not matter. We lowered the forks until they were as close as possible to the bars, without touching, even when we moved the bars around in the rubber damper mounts.
@@BrockDavidson nice. I just ordered your adjustable kickstand, should be coming in this weekend!
This restores my faith and gives me a sense of security if Brock one of the most trusted names in motorcycles is willing to put extensions in such a powerful bike my little 01 zx7 will be just fine
Awesome! Did you have to extend the speed sensor?
Keaton Moore
The product listing in our store directs you to all you need, including the longer speed sensor harnessbit.ly/3ErbKVl
So it is true, Kawasaki removed a little bit of the restrictions compared to the h2 sx.
stock to stock - yes...a bit.
Hi Brock will you be coming up with a Steering Damper Kit for the ZH2. Nothing really on the market dedicated to this bike, albeit, I’m not aware of any that don’t require the making of brackets and cutting away some of the plastics. Just interested if this is on the list of modifications? Would love to hear your comments on this.
Please go here to request: blog.brocksperformance.com/product-request/ if we see enough interest, we can make it happen.
@@BrockDavidson thanks for the reply. Did as requested but as based in the U.K. there is no option to select outside of USA. However entered the details that I could and made the request. I’m sure there most people would find this a great addition to this fantastic bike. There is nothing yet on the market that fits perfectly.
Sorry for the oversite on the form - we will take care of it. We WANT to here from our international friends :)
That extensions wirks on the z900 2018???
They do not.
wow !!!!
How long chain i need if use extension at maximum lenght ?? And 525 or 530 ?? Its just for normal riding and sometime drag amateur
Thanks
As a general rule: 530 always on powerful bikes. Chain length not only depends upon where you decide to run your wheelbase, but also what size sprockets you decide to run. We offer up to 160 links to allow you to compensate for any combination: brocksperformance.com/ek-530drz2-non-o-ring-chain-160-links/
Hey do you still do the stock to Brock packages for 2015 H2s?
Yes: bit.ly/33utAWA
can you please put a link for the website to purchase OBD connector for EURO 5?
@yav92 Here you go: bit.ly/3hBs7l3 you might want to contact ftecu.com to see if they have one available yet.
Hi Brocks, how are you doing? May I ask. Do you know the Size for the Pin for the triple tree stand for our ZH2? Thank you
15mm
Thank you Brock. Appreciate it
is that dynojet 250i?
Yes. Full specs in long description.
I wish y’all could make some extensions for a 2010 z1000 or ninja 1000. That would be a great addition.
I'm pretty sure you are the first to ask, lol. Put in an official request here: blog.brocksperformance.com/product-request/
Brock Davidson. Ok great thanks Brock!!! Ya. It’s swingarm design is unique. I Don’t think anyone else has that kind of rear wheel setup.
I HAVE NINJA 1000 2015 , WAITING ANXIOUSLY TO GET MY HANDS ON SUCH A GRRAT PRODUCT.
Ghost Rider follow that link Brock Davidson posted in his reply. Thanks. If they get enough requests they’ll consider making it. Thanks !!!
@@theozman38 OK BRO
Will this also work for my 2021 Z900?
They will not, sorry.
Can you show me your steering damper for it please?
czcams.com/video/sZiQC58iINc/video.html
Any news on a steering dampener for this bike? I want to get one but the insane amount of wheelies scare me. Is it even possible to put one on there?
We are working on it. It's going to be a strange one - but we find ways to get it done. Please be patient as no parts currently exist for a set-up like this...so it will be a while.
Ill keep my eye out on your website for one!
If you put in a request here, we will notify you when available : blog.brocksperformance.com/product-request/
Brock Davidson any ideas to combat how many wheelies this thing does in the meantime? Its just a bit too much for me and its making me second guess buying this bike at this price point with no steering dampener is just insane to me...
@@Zdub26 Buy the extensions , my ZH2's front wheel barely comes off the ground now and that's with an extra tooth on my rear sprocket. I can't recommend the extensions highly enough !!
how can i go about sending my zh2 in for modifications?
blog.brocksperformance.com/ufaqs/do-i-need-to-physically-bring-my-bike-to-brocks-performance-in-ohio-for-a-performance-tune/
Is the header on the Z the same as the sx? More specifically are you able to do the zx10 header swap?
Not the same. Not saying something could not be hacked together, but it's not anything we would sell.
Brock Davidson thanks for the response! I just love the blue look of the zx10 headers haha! Do you think if I bought the full system (waiting on slash cut!) that it would be safe to run without a tune/flash for the time being?
yes - it will have some stumble spots in the drivability, but we will cure them as soon as the production PCV is available.
Brock Davidson thanks brother! I’m still smashing that refresh button hoping I see that slash cut full system pop up!! ;)
Check the zh2 forum for zx10r swap info..
At maximum length, exactly how much longer do the extensions make the wheelbase? So extensions, longer rear brake hose, longer chain, and (probably) lowering links plus adjustable side stand. Is that pretty much it?
brocksperformance.com/bolt-on-swingarm-extensions-black-for-z-h2-2020/
And the speed sensor extension, my ZH2 with extensions is 5.5 inches longer than stock, and I LOVE IT !!!
@@barttunnicliffe How much out of pocket for EVERYTHING needed?
How can you put a price on fun ? lol just kidding. Not sure . I didn't keep track. I'll look around for all the paperwork.
@@BrockDavidson Brock will you come out with your own blow off valve for this bike?
Show 😎
I wish you had 12” over extensions
The bike is now 64" WB and heading to the track soon...stay tuned ;)
Does this tube have any disadvantages when installed in Z-H2?
I'm not sure what you mean by "tube" - but if you mean the extensions...they are designed to provide control against wheelies as well as enhance stability at high speeds. The only disadvantage would be a reduced quickness in handling due to the increased wheelbase length. I hope this helps.
@@BrockDavidson I have booked the exhaust pipe, hope I will be satisfied
I come from Laiwan
Any eta on a full system?
They are in process. Give our customer service team a call 937-912-0054, they can give specifics.
Brock Davidson alright! Appreciate the response/info!
Hey, Does anyone have any news on ECU flash? :(
God dam This flash is going to cost a lot of money since they've spent so long trying to crack it lol.
This is a VERY difficult crack, as built in tothe Euro 5 specs. There has been a bit of progress on other similar models, so hopefully that knowledge will help speed things along a bit. Please remember, the H2 took over a year- and it was not Euro 5...
i have Z-H2 as well and i want to but power commander for it... so you have for sale one?
They are not available for sale just yet, we were testing a prototype for Dynojet.
You going to hire someone from DARPA to crack that ECU? hahaha
Since the ECU can't be unlocked yet, is removing the cat a bad idea?
Optimally, a means to tune the fuel for smooth drivability (PCV/Bazzaz etc..) is prefered. That said, it's so pig rich at high revs, no damage would be incurred at WOT.
@@BrockDavidson you're fucking awesome, always knew of the products, but never knew you actually did CZcams etc until Moore Mafia mentioned you're an actual person and not some big wig lol
lol... i'm just Brock. Welcome aboard!
Why put red loc-tite on the bolts if you were just going to take the extensions right back off? Why put any loc-tite on?🤨
To properly instruct potential installers.
Would a UK spec ECU not clear and remove a lot of the restrictions in the tune? I know that US litre bike ECU'S are heavily restricted compared to the UK and dropping a US ecu into a gsxr1000 of 04 absolutely fucks with the power.
I know that the throttle limiters require cracking the ECU to get round but SOME of it can be dealt with by ecu shopping ime. Just DON'T buy a French bike's ECU as they are locked to 100bhp.
The gentleman's limit is done via gearing generally I know the 2nd gen hayabusa you could get a true 200 via a 3 tooth change in the rear.
I wish it were so easy as to be able to drop a UK ECU in. Unfortunately, the UK immobilizer key prevents this.
@@BrockDavidson dam so you'd need a UK immobiliser, the key and the ignition barrel parts and having them programmed by a dealer in the US? that's really annoying.
Why are the US bikes restricted it's really odd, federal law? Compliance with something in CARB? The UK it tends to be manufacturer dependant, I know the 1st gen rocket 3 is locked to 140bhp and 140mph by triumph but thats fairly trivial to bypass and with airbox replacemebt and new pistons 220bhp at the wheel is fairly easy.
One word: California
@@BrockDavidson don't they do cali and none cali models any more?
My dad owned a grey import 83 CB650SC nighthawk back in the day and it was marked as the version legal in cali on the exhaust and had a different baffle to the standard US model
How can you sell a bike in Nevada that is illegal to operate in California? All of the bikes we deal with are now California approved.
Hey, please, PRETTY PLEEEEASE! Take the slip on off that bike and send it to me🤣🤣. I am tired of waiting. FYI, I know it isn’t your fault. I am tired of my buddies asking if my bike is running ☹️😬
If you have one on order, you should receive it very soon...if you wait until the 0's turn to +X in our store...it may be a very long wait as we have hundreds of exhausts on back order and our system only understands first come-first serve.
@Big - and my apologies for your frustration my friend - it's hard to predict double+ sales increases due to a pandemic... but we are seeing some light as our top manufacturing partners are working tirelessly to get us product.
Brock Davidson . It’s all good, i was just bustin your chops.😁. But yes i do have one on order. I chatted with an employee last week on the website, which was quite nice and worked well.
Brock Davidson .. and Please keep us posted on when you get the restrictions figured out. My son keeps rubbing it in that he is faster than me. He is on a zx14 and he only passes me at 130
Maybe in 5 years the ECU mod will come out! haha
We will create a plug in replacement ecu first 😁
2:15 😂
Why doesn’t this stupid muffler come off!!!! 🤬🤬
lol, nothing a little wd40 can't cure! I was talking, so I didn't see him struggle. Cracked me up watching the video 😂😅😆
@@BrockDavidson He was just a good boy, being careful :)
