I just picked up a 1978 GS1000. I am thinking about upgrading the tube swingarm, but can't find a Cal Fab or JMC. I wanted to know if there is a bolt-in and ride solution from a newer model, such as a GS1100 or Katana.

hi i,ve got a 1980 gs1000e,,, and a few years ago i purchased a mint condition headlight ,,the guy sent me a box,,, with all the stuff in it ,,,,which included a gsx1100 alloy swing arm .... ..last year i cleaned it up it was provided with new seals so i re-greased the bearings /shaft and its been happy since ... a great improvement stops flexing .. regards oldgrumpy
