Help w frame mods on a 750 Kat to go 1100

[darlington]

I have been assigned the job of building a more modern 1983 Katana 750 and also dropping in an 1100 motor. If anyone has done the motor swap I would love your input on what frame mods are required. Steve 613-283-0159

When I dropped a 1000cc into my 750 frame - ** note ** all Suzuki 8V - I had to move 2 engine mounts and fabricate one upper front mount bracket.
I assume yours in a 16V engine - If you swap in a 1100 pay attention to this.

The lower mounts on either side
Shifter side - had to remove and re-weld this mount forward about 2"
Brake side - fabricated a longer bracket - cannot move the through bolt holes as they're welding into the frame and the bolts thread into them.

However, the rear x2 mounts - through bolts - and the front upper mounts lined up.
The front upper brackets - the left side needs help as it doesn't line up - my first trial was putting it on the outside of the frame and adding spacers - works but looks like crap so I'm fabricating...
The right side fits fine with no issues.

I can't speak for your exhaust.

No other frame mods were needed for my setup - although I swapped in 2004 GSXR suspension front/rear so the rear mono shock needed help.
Front suspension needed an All Balls bearing kit and bolted right up.

Pic of my build is profile pic and a post around here somewhere...

By chance, do you have a top end for a 1100 8V ???

I have a top end for a 1100 2V. Email me if interested, I'll dig it out and get a "inventory" of what is there. It's apart and being stored indoors
