I have the 4.5" GSX-R rear in my stock 1150 swing-arm with zero clearance issues.

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.

Just done a GSXR conversion on an 82
I tried various wheel, offset sprocket combinations and with an 1100E arm and 3/8" offset you can easily use a 4.5"/160 combination (using the GS NOT the GSXR sprocket carrier) ..... A 180 with larger rim will fit, however , I didn't like the clearance with a 530 chain so have kept the wheel until I switch to a 525 set up

Thanks for all the info guys I'm still waiting for my bike to come out from its motor rebuild so... after that i'm gonna dive a bit deeper into the rear end conversion that's the reason I started asking about the front end conversions first is that so I have a general Idea of what to search for because at this moment my stock GS forks are leaking and instead of rebuilding them I'd rather just upgrade the front end.
