--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am looking to do the fork swap to a newer set for my 85 1150 and cant remmeber which makes swap the best..I know there are some setups that allow the use of R-1 forks but am drawing a complete blank, also will a zx-9 swingarm fit? I think it is 9 1/4 inches at the pivot and only requires the shock bracket and bearing drilled out.. Any ideas

If I remember???

the 1150 swing arm is much narrower than the gs1100. I had an 1150 swing and couldn't fit a nwe style wheel (92) into it were the gs1100 swing is easy.

two: the gs11 swing is about 87/8 inches at pivot...is the 1150 wider?

the 93 gsxr1100 forks are the longest I have found at 30"

I have heard of some guys using zx12 forks...32" I think. You just have to replace the stem with your own.

cheers, Rob.
