1993 gsxr 750

Would a 1993 GSXR 750 donor bike be OK to upgrade front suspension / brakes .. wheels on a 1983 GS1100E ?

I recall that there were some years that should be avoided.

I do know that this one is water cooled so not much from the engine useful.

The 750 will work but the 1100 is a better choice because of the longer forks, it helps on the clearance you lose. I believe Rob (katman) has used Honda 954 top triples to add length on the 750 forks. To answer your question yes it can all be made to work.

Thanks .. yea I know that inches matter .. and the 1100 is better.

This one can be had for a good price and the leftovers parted to even help fund the purchase. .. I am soooo cheap (and strapped right now)

The 954 triples work great and give a bit of extra length. I'm using a 954 triple myself. You do need this bearing for the top with the 954.

Thanks Billy.

One other thought I had is to use these GSXR parts on an 83 GS750E.

Wonder if they would be better suited to that than the 1100 or no significant difference ?

You'll need to run a 170 in the back to have room in the swingarm. Salty Monk is doing a 750 now.

I was able to get a cbr954 triple for cheap on ebay. It was dirty as hell but cleaned up nice.

Just keep your eye open for them.
