jeez, this is like the 7th post ive made in 24 hours. starting a 89gsxr build hopefully soon, just gotta finish up my other build (2001 zx7r) and then its onto this one. im trying to create a detailed and concrete plan before i start so there's minimal complications to make this a smooth (and hopefully quick) build. anyways, i have a feeling i wouldn't be satisfied with the 750 engines power, so the plan is to make it some sort of 1100 configuration. i have a yoshimura duplex system that came with the bike and im pretty sure if i want to run it id have to use the 748cc bottom end for the oil pan to clear it right? if theres any other bottom end that works with this exhaust let me know. with the bottom end being a 748, is there a better transmission to fit into it? clutch basket? crankshaft? i have lots of options. okay so i planned on using the 1052 cylinders for this but i also have the 1127 and possibly 1157 cylinder to use for this, if i use the 748cc conrods are the wrist pins the same diameter for the larger displacement motor pistons? or should i also use different conrods all together? as far as cylinder head, 748cc is the one, or so ive been told. best combustion chamber and valves, porting, everything seems to be so good on the 748cc head from what ive heard. that being said, i know that the carbs sits higher on these, so being that id be using a larger gsxr set of cylinders, will i have clearance issues with the carbs and frame? also will it still be possible to run the stock airbox with the engine possibly being taller? carbs will be the 36mm oval carbs from the early slingshots as I've also been told these things are the shit. if this seems like too much stuff to try and figure out at first (for me not for you guys) then the main thing id like to know is that if i put a set of gsxr1100 cylinders on a 748 engine in a 89 gsxr750 frame, will it make the motor taller to where i will have clearance issues with the carburetors and frame, and will i be able to run the stock airbox on the bike?

last time i tried craigslist unfortunately a bunch of scammers was all i got but maybe ill try again. the only thing that sucks with posting on this forum is that i would literally flood the for sale page, and not to mention Facebook is so much easier to make a sales post. the second part is more me complaining but still lol. at some point i will get motivated enough to post all the stuff on here. i think one of the issues may be that its stock stuff and basically all of it needs to be repainted or coated or cleaned. and yeah i know people are hoarding this stuff, kinda dumb but you either play the game or you lose, but i look at it this way, lets say a stock slabside is double its price it is now in 10 years, or even 5 years, well how much did i have to spend to keep it pristine during those 10 years, was it less than the amount it gained during those 5 or 10 years? also hopefully i have a good enough job to where i dont give a shit that i potentially lost out on making a good amount on 1 or 2 bikes. i do plan on keeping 1 or 2 extra frames incase i want to so some sort of stock build or just get the itch to build something wild, and with some of the builds i have already, basically a turbo would be the only way to consider a build wild for me.

will have to do it in the morning, should be able to get a reading tomorrow. i have a caliper but not sure if it opens up enough to get this measurement. i just wanted to mention that its not necessarily my first rodeo with doing something like this, i want to emphasize "like" because there's a kit for the conversion I'm doing right now. putting first gen zx10r front and rear end on a 2001 zx7r, now while its pretty similar to what i want to do with my 89, there has been a person that has already solved all of this and sells a kit to where it basically is a straight swap. there's also another kit he sells to put a zx10r motor in a zx7r frame...but that wont be for a little while...we'll see it'll be a little while before the 89 gets to be brought out the shed but im starting to really get excited for it, and since the zx7r is almost done (other than paintjob) i want to make a detailed and concrete plan for the bike so there's no real complications when i get to start building it up. the engine may end up being the last thing i do so when i get in those moments of despair with this build, ill get to stare at it until im ready to keep going lol.

did you have to remove the old one and weld a new one on for that mount?

hey everyone, just wondering if a SRAD swingarm can be fitted to a 89 gsxr750...well im sure it can be, i guess what im asking is how much work would have to be put in to do it? i have the 89gsxr750 swingarm and the braced watercooled swingarm so i know i can fit the braced W one with no real struggle, but it would be nice to be able to use a 6 inch rear wheel, and it gives me more options for lighter wheels and also it may be easier to find tires for? not sure on that last bit. anyways, just figured id ask, think this is mostly it for now as far as forum posts but dont be surprised if i get one question answered and another few questions are asked. i would like to make a sweet build with not much fabrication needing to be done. so far it seems that ill be using the slingshot yokeset, SRAD forks, nissin 4 pot calipers, the braced 750W swingarm, and gsxrW wheelset. the shock i havent figured out just yet but thats okay.

so as far as 5.5" rear wheels what choices do i have? would it be best to stick with a watercooled wheel? also do you by chance know if the 750 and 1100 watercooled wheel will work the exact same on it as far as the axle, spacing, brake lining up, and sprocket lining up?

not sure ill have to pull out the yokeset, its a 1991 gsxr750 yokeset, not sure if theres a chart somewhere that already has it listed. any chance you can tell me how to measure the spacing? never done a front end swap before so this is rather new to me.

i have an 1100 wheelset from a 1987 gsxr 1100, i actually am trying to sell the whole front and rear end off of it. so thats the swingarm, forks, yokeset, front wheel with its discs, rear wheel with its disc. not sure if im keeping the shock or not. i just didnt want to sell the front wheel by itself, id atleast want to sell it as a set. i still have those 2 transmissions aswell.

the wild thing is that the prices for stuff in the US is higher than Europe by a lot actually. im not sure if its because people think im a scammer since 95% of sales posts in the facebook groups are, or if its simply because nobody wants it at the moment. i thought my prices are fair since the well known sellers post their stuff for the same price and it gets sold rather quick, but maybe im wrong.

hey everyone, i watched a video of a younger guy fitting a braced watercooled swingarm on his watercooled gsxr600 the other day, and he also put a 2007 gsxr shock in aswell as he said it was a straight swap i was wondering, would it also be a straight swap for my 89 gsxr750 if im running that braced watercooled swingarm? if its not which ones are?

hey everyone, i was just wondering if theres maybe a link or something that shows how to make a braced watercooled 750 swingarm fit on an 89 gsxr750 frame, i have the 89 swingarm with all its hardware so im hoping thats all i need. thankyou!

hey everyone, im thinking about putting a SRAD750 set of forks on my 89 gsxr frame, the SRAD750 forks go straight in on the later model slingshot 750 yokeset which i already have, so that really helps out as far as steering stop/bearing/fitment issues for the neck of the frame. anyways, im wondering which wheels would work on the SRAD forks and which brakes, id honestly like to use the SRAD complete front end but if there some later model wheels that work and are cheaper and lighter i wouldnt mind that aswell. id probably go for the nissin 4 pot calipers but id like to know which bikes use the ones that are a straight fit on the SRAD forks. just to bring it up because maybe ill run into this issue with the SRAD forkset, i can technically use newer model forks aswell, up to like 2006 or something for the 750 and then 2004 i think for the 1000 as far as the bottom and top yoke diameter being the same, but i did learn that the spacing between both fork legs is different, they are more narrow on these sets, so if i use the slingshot yokeset i would have a gap between the forks and wheel, how hard would it be to make a spacer, and also how bad of an issue would that be for setting up the brakes? the only reason i see the possibility of running some newer forks is for the radial calipers, i know there's conversion kits for axial forks but it doesn't look nearly as good. thankyou!

hey everyone, just trying to see the options i have i have a watercooled 750 braced swingarm i plan on using for my 89 gsxr750 frame and i have a few questions. how exactly do i work the swingarm on an 89? i have the 89 swingarm on the frame still so i have complete assembly from it. can the watercooled 750 and 1100 wheel work on this without any fitment issues for the brake/sprocket/axle also can any 6 inch wheels be fitted on without issues for the same areas im asking about? i dont want to do any serious fabrication, smaller stuff is fine but id need somebody to tell me exactly what i need to do and the best way to do it. thankyou for the help!

was wondering if i can have somebody or a couple people help me out with pricing out parts? im located in the US. i have a bunch of stuff id like to get rid of, i figured my pricing is fine but i have no hits, its mainly slabside parts but theres a couple slingshot things and a tiny bit of watercooled stuff. want to have this stuff sold but i cant afford to just practically give it away.

hey everyone, have a 1987 gsxr1100 that id like to check the frame before id decide to build it. whether it'd have to be a roller or not id like to know how to check it to be straight, it did have a motor in it at one point but it was taken out, came out easy i would say, it has been a while but i don't remember struggling to loosen any bolts or remove them.
