finally installed,5.5 + 1100e swingarm gs1000

[kochic]

hi,
finally managed to find and fit a 1100e swingarm with a 5.5 gsxr wheel on my gs1000.
it was a fairly an easy fit, everything is super tight but nothing is rubbing.
i think it was easy because i already had the front offset sprocket on the bike.
i bought the marzocchi on ebay, a cheap find.

Looks fantastic! What model was the front-end from? Can you tell us more about what you did to mount the handlebar? I'm fitting a GSXR1100 front-end to my GS and looking for some ideas on a riser solution.

Thanks.

Thank you,
The forks are 1994 gsxr1100 in 1991 gsxr yokes.The riser are homemade with 2'' x 1'' aluminium flat stock.You can see a picture of the riser in my album here.The botton of the top yoke is filled with welding to give a flat surface for the bolts. It was the first time i go this way, usually i weld the risers to the top yoke.I can PM you pics if you want.

Marc:

Yes, please. Whatever pictures you've got of the risers set up. I've got the same top clamp.

Thanks.

Why are your exhaust pipes so blue?

[kochic]

To match the bike,.
I just bought this exhaust and it was already turned blue-purple.
This exhaust had surely run lean sometime in is life.

Very nice Marc!

[bigbill808]

looks sweet!! exactly what i have planned for mine. but my swing arm is extended 4".

[kochic]

i just put the gs1100e swingarm this spring.
Last year i was running a 4'' over modified gsxr 1100 swingarm.
Nothing wrong with the 4''over, its just that the 1100e swingarm was only 12,50$.
