    82 gs1100e conversion with a 93 gsxr 1100?

    I can get a complete 93 gsxr 1100 for cheap right now and ive been thinking about doing the front end and rear wheel swap onto a 82 gs1100e. Will the 93 gsxr 1100 be a one for one swap? Any issues with the 93 gsxr1100
    make it a tougher swap then say a 95-98 which ive heard is a one for one swap.. Thanks for the help

    93 will work fine, you will need to fab different steering stops to prevent the forks from hitting the tank.

    I have a 93 on mine

      Damn that is nice looking! Mines the same color. Are those wheels off a 93 gsxr1100 also? Is that the stock swingarm in the rear? Anything special you had to change as far as the brakes on the rear? So what does making new steering stops for these entail? Are those the triple clamps off the gsxr as well? Are you doing risers for the bars? Thanks for the help Jwhelen

        You will also need to fabricate new mounts for the headlight, gauges and key switch

          For headlight brackets check out Wild Hair Accessories. They sell some very nice CNC brackets. I have a set on my bike and they work and look great. Mine are the longer of the two sets they offer. They are ordered from Germany and come in within a couple of weeks.



          Mine with them installed. It's not me in the photo.
