Not to be rude but what year?

[Johnny Drummond]

try this

If you can find an early air/oil cooled GSXR750('85-'89 I think) they will fit with an offset sprocket set,and new engine mounting plates and spacers.the only downside is having to re-wire to get the ignition/igniter working and as far as I remember they have an electronic tacho instead of a cable,or maybe measure up a set of GSX750 crankcases to see if they will fit.Not really much use I admit but it's the best I can ome up with-good luck in your search.Johnny

This is a pretty nice place, doubt you'll get too many. Never know though. But if you're willing to change all that and do some welding, what wouldn't fit?

its a 1985

[homerJ]

yeah im willing to weld n stuff, iv heard a 2001 bandit engine is a good prospect?

[JEEPRUSTY]

If its an 85 how would you get a carb rack to fit the beefed up central part of the frame
there is a huge space between the left and right carb on a stock config.
