    GSXR front end on Kat 1100

    I decided to do a "restomod" on my GS 1100 Kat by fitting GSXR 1100 K wheels ,brakes and front fork.
    The front fork was extended 10 cm through three stainless steel coaxial tubes and new fork locks were put in place.
    Finally the ignition switch assy support was shaved from the top yoke and replaced by an aluminum plate to support the instrument combo.
    Here are some pictures:



    Next week the rear wheel

      Looks like it to me... The original GSXR one that is. He's bolted a couple of steerer stops to it by the looks of it.

        SM is right it's the original GSXR 1100 K ( 1989) yoke top and bottom.
        The good news is that it fits right in with no modification
        Given the cost and difficulty of extending the GSXR fork legs I would recommend Bandit fork legs in the GSXR yokes
