As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1st Gen GS 750 front end swap ?s

Here's the deal, I have the 79 rolling rebuild that I wanted to keep near original. It has the alloy wheels with dual calipers originally. Issue is the known weak front brakes & suspension(used to the SV with upgraded GSXR 4 pots, SS lines & .90 springs), and I'm uncertain of what front ends are bolt ons with mere bearing changes. I'd like to upgrade to 2 pot calipers with cross drilled rotors.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Been reading all of the other threads on the subject, and have come with some other possibile options.

Since many seem to be doing GSXR swaps on GS models, and many more do them to SV models........why couldn't one do a GSXR swap on a SV, in turn swapping the SV front end to the GS?

Of course, a new rear wheel and swing arm would be in order for the GS. Also, I'd like for both front & rear wheels to match on both bikes as well. Possibilty that I could get the proper bearings to mount the SV rear on the GS, but most GSXR wheels are too wide for the SV swingarm. I can figure most of the SV stuff out on SVR.

Matter of fact I may have some riding buds over there who ride/race SVs and have a SV front end laying around.

I suspect you'd need bearing swaps because the GSXR stuff people use on these is older than on SVs


I'd just go with GSXF "katana" stuff if I were you, it might not be as good as more modern stuff but it's considerably better than stock (or so I've heard - I'm doing a swap soon and will post what I think about it).
