    The forks on their own won't fit but maybe the whole front end will. Somebody on here who knows more about those crotch rocket bikes will be able to tell you if it's feasible / sensible.

      correct me if im wrong but im sure all suzuki head bearings and stems are compatable. a mate bolted a complete gsxr750wp into his 1100 katana with no mods whatsoever. i know cuz i helped him do it

      Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

        i used an 05 gsxr 750 front on my 83 1100 e with only a bearing swap.They are short though so you will need to figure out something for your exh, i used a 4-2-1 header

          Send me $350 and your GSXR top clamp and I'll have Dave make you a one off drop top top clamp that'll make up for the shorter forks

          Seriously though, if you can afford it, that's the way to go. Whether through me or someone else, it'll not only look trick it'll look like it came from the facoty that way. Ground clearance is a must on the street, especially if you ride hard, and have crappy roads.
