ztomov Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Hi, all! Can someone tell me what I am about to face with attempt of swapping front for suzuki gsxr 1100 (1991) with hayabusa '08- (all except wheel, brake discs) ( - fork, - triples, - brake calipers - handle bars - pumps - switches Thanks in advance!

R1guy Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Looks like you're making something that should be easy a lot more difficult. Get hold on the 'busa wheel and discs and then press the 1100 stem into the 'busa yoke. Easy! Is there any benefit from using the 'busa switch gear? Quote Link to comment
MeanBean49 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 No need to swap stems. Just put gsxr bottom bearing on busa yoke and you can get a taper roller bearing in the right size for the top. Dead easy. But yeah get the matching wheel and discs too. Make life really easy. 2 Quote Link to comment
homer Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 With 1100 wheel you need to sort axle size, disc spacing and if I remember right the disc size is different compared to busa discs. Quote Link to comment
ztomov Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) R1Guy, switches are not important. They already from something else, not 1100's. MeanBean49, thanks. I have nice new brake discs for 1100 and for matching with rear wheel want to keep front also. homer, if it is only wheel axle size ... i will be very pleased. Main worries are for height between triples and center column and bearings ... where it fits with the frame. Currently I don't have any sizes, and going to order busa front end from US to Europe. So it will be late if I get it and understand that it is not easy fit. Edited November 17, 2017 by ztomov Quote Link to comment
fatblokeonbandit Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 2015 hayabusa forks, 1200 bandit wheel, discs and modified speedo drive ( same as 1100 slingshot) modified Ka**saki wheel spindle, one off stepped yoke as the busa forks are waaaay to short for the 1100..obviously I've used a bandit stem but as meanbean says the slingshot stem fits with different bearings, 1 Quote Link to comment
ztomov Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 fatblokeonbandit, can you list me what will I need (extra parts) and what kind of work is needed for this swap? Thanks Quote Link to comment
fatblokeonbandit Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Ill try and remember as im at work and all my info is on my home computer... I used 2015 forks and calipers, the wheel is bandit 1200 but 1100/750 slingshot is the same, 310 mm discs from a slingshot same diameter as the later hayabusa, with 4mm spacers behind the discs made from old disc centres to centralise the disc in the calliper's, the gsxr/b12 speedo drive needed 4 mm machined off of it to fit, I used a zx600r spindle which was machined down to fit, cant remember exactly what I did, but just made it fit.. the bottom yoke is early Haybusa or TL1000 I cant remember which but its 55mm hole size, the top yoke was originally 2 welded together to retain the ride height, but in the end I had a stepped shiny one made up. .the biggest pain was making the mudguard fit, I already had it painted like the rest of the bike, it needed 4 tiny brackets made up to line the holes up 1 Quote Link to comment
