ZX7 parts on a GS700E?

[ericzx7]

Iv'e heard that the early NINJA's and GSXR's had alot of interchangeable parts. I was wondering if anyone out there has some knowledge of what years of the ZX's parts will interchange, and therefore would work on our GS's. Looking for info on brakes, forks and trees, swingarm, wheels etc...
It would open up more possibilities when searching for used parts to have a few more choices. Thanks in advance for any advice offered.:-D

Agreed! As the owner of a non U.S. Katana, I'm always looking for parts that will swap over from something more available here in the states.

[ericzx7]

Yup, hopefully some of these guys who know these bikes inside out will chime in here soon!:-D

Haven't heard anything yet, although I did realize the fork seals of a 83 GPz will fit the 82 GS 1000's.... And I dare bet they'd fit all GS's of 37mm diameter.

One small piece of info I can throw out there....the splines are different on the shifter shafts. Probably different on the brake shafts too.

Maybe this'll help.

Has anyone bought this? I think it would be cool if we could find a way to have that on the site if at all possible. Might have to contact their company and ask.

I agree. That would be very handy.

I just inquired of the company.

Oh, also there is http://oldskoolsuzuki.info/ but everybody knows that.

Most things like wheels and forks are sourced from the same suppliers with minor differences depending on which bike they are going onto. I don't think it would be any more trouble fitting late model Kaw suspension parts than it is to fit Suzuki parts.
