What year/model Suzuki Bandit swingarm will fit an 81 1100E?
Is there a weight savings?

If you have the stock 11E swing arm, I would advise staying with it. It was quite advanced (in its day): "built up, box section" aluminum Cycle World called it.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red
2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after. -

None, the Bandits are Mono shocks. Thinking converting a Bandit, mono shock swingarm, to a dual shock GS1100E could create a slight problem. But anything is possible.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100Comment

Thank you. The mono shock is something I failed to consider.Comment

It's been done on an 1100E by Posplayr & others. Have a look. You have to have bushes welded on for the shocks to connect to & some bikes need a convertor for the bearing...
Main advantage is allows a wider wheel/tyre combo, not weight.
