    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. 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.

Search the forum, and decide what you want/can do.

  • 17" or 18" wheels
  • 17" straight v.s. curved spoke
  • 18" three spoke vs. 6 spoke
  • USD or RSU forks
  • Stock of Bandit swinger
  • Mono or Dual shock setup
  • Frame bracing or none.
  • Stock clocks or other
  • clip ons or risers
There are many variations and don't believe what people say as "it is a bolt on". :-\\\
 
I think you'll find some what what you're looking for here (u may want to read in reverse)...

Sadly, it's all too much welding and wrenching for my own skills but it's good to see some folks out there making old bikes see new potential.

cool ill do more research been working a ton but ill get a list together. fab skills are no issue and i have a lot of resources at my disposal
 
Probably the first place to start is wheel size and style that you want to go with. After that it's a matter of picking suspension components from a range of years the wheels work easiest with. '95 forks are a good choice since the GSX-Rs were pushing 450 lbs by that year, after that they got super light again. How wide you can go will depend on if you're going to swap swingarms.
 
Not sure on the 82 1100E, but when I did the swap to my 81 750E I used a front end from a 93 model 750 gsxr. It was a direct replacement, The upper bearing in the neck had to be swapped over, but that's it. I used 79 gauges, (just had to make mounting tabs). The steering stops line up perfectly, but the steering lock does not since I used the gsxr ignition switch.
 
you can look at my build i used k5 gsxr gear and it works awesome
