5.5" rim into a stock 82 GS1100E swingarm?

The search function does not like me very much...

Has anybody done this? I have all the bandit spacers, the axle, and caliper mount.


So, will it go into the stock GS1100 swing arm without too much trouble?? The rim is off of a 2nd gen Bandit 1200. If need be, I know the GS hub fits the rim for a bit more room...

Yes I did it with my Gs1100E 1985 with a 1995 Gsxr 5.5 rear rim,you have to cut you rown spacers and make sure frount is straight with the rear wheel.
 
Cool. I'll give it a shot. I have all the bandit spacers, so I'll start from there and work at it.

You need to get the wheel centered into the frame. The bandit swing arm has about 3/16" offset relative to a GS which is symmetrical in the frame.

If you used all Bandit parts then it would likely drop right into the GS frame and be centered. Once you start changing the carrier or the top had spacers as I described in the PM then you have to modify the spacers.
 
That's good to know the Bandit rim will fit the GS swingarm. Rob offered to make offset tophat spacers as he did for you, if I still want to use the bandit swing arm. He said he would trade me the spacers he sent for the cost of shipping.

Thanks Jim!
 
Yes,
I have a gsxr1100 5.5 wheel in a 1100e swingarm.
I just use a mix and match of gsxr and 1000e spacer to fit the wheel.

Thanks for the links, and advice via PM's Jim. Looks like I have some reading to do. :)
