my thoughts are if it was a totally standard motor then maybe I'd be happy with it but it would always be on my mind !!!!!! on a tuned motor with a turbo I'd be looking for another head. yeah im probably paranoid

glad your going for it
your bike will look/handle and brake better than it ever did and don't forget lots of pic's and questions

That was my next question. I don't even know where to start there. There are many of these wheels available. I'm thinking it would be the logical route. I don't know if that means necessary. Seems like it would balance things out.
rear wheel will need a bit of work as well, you need wheel/disc/sprocket carrier/brake calliper and hanger. plus spacers. think the axle is the same size. they have a 150 tyre so should fit in the swingarm. problem is the sprockets won't line up !!!!!! I had to get the sprocket carrier machined down and space out the front sprocket. as you can see modifying these old bikes can be a bit of a challenge !!! but if it floats your boat its great fun,

I believe you're right. I heard the GSX1100 would slip right into the GSX750ESD. So this whole exercise might just be getting a Bandit 600 wheel, axle, discs, and couple of washers, tire, Brake Brackets, and elbow grease. Thanks! If you discover anything new, I'm open to it. Again, Thank You!.
I didn't have or use a bandit axle, don't think it will work because of the shape !!! i already had a spindle the right size and long enough, if I remember right its 19mm diameter ???? can't remember what it was off it was just in a pile of bits in me shed !!!!!
are you gona fit a B6 rear wheel to match ?

Thanks, I believe the forks on the GSX1000 are larger diameter, so it would involve a set of GSX1000 forks, and triple tree set, with steering stem, from which I understand slides right into the GSX750ESD. If you can think of anything to add, I'd appreciate it. Oh, the B6 bearings are the Bandit wheels bearings? If that's correct, you've just filled in all the gaps for me. I really appreciate your help.
I could be wrong but I thought the 750 and 1100 forks where the same diameter ??? yeah the bearings in the bandit 600 where the original ones.

TonyGee :
Spindle (axle bolt)? B6= Bandit wheel bearings from ( B6 = mk1 Bandit wheel)? fabricated collar to fit bottom fork clamps?
Spacer to center wheel, understood.
"Speedo Drive turned down a little" .........Is that the knurled part that screws the speedo drive cable into the pickup housing? (This is the part that has me stumped)
Was the axle fitting the bearings and axle, but too thin in diameter to be clamped by GS1100 forks, so you made collars so that the axle could clamp to the upper fork leg lowers, and opposing fork clamps, so the could be torqued?
The forks and upper and lower fork clamp with steering spindle, and fork assemblies are from GSX1100, you made brackets to align the brake calipers to line up with the Bandit Disc Brakes.
That's a really nice looking bike, by the way. I hope what I'm asking makes sense (this is where the old man jokes would be well deserved) There are many Bandit 600 wheels on ebag
spindle is the axle bolt that fitted the B600 bearings.
I found a collar (spacer) that fitted the axle and fitted in the lower fork clamps as the clamps are a removable part held in place by 2 bolts.
the speedo drive was too wide and pushed the wheel over to the right and off centre, so I got it turned down a few mm so the wheel sat dead centre in the forks.
so basically 2 spacers are held in place at the bottom of the forks by the clamps, then a spindle (axle) slides right through and held in place with a nut.
hope that makes sense ? im 60 so your not the only oldie round here

Just for clarification, did you use the forks and wheel off of the 600 Bandit, or just the whee, what year wheell? In other words, will the Bandit front wheel alone bolt up to the GS750ESDbike, maybe some caliper work?
no, the forks are off a GSX1100 (pretty much the same) but the wheel is a mk1 600 bandit. i used a spindle that fitted the B6 wheel bearings and used a collar in the bottom of the forks (held in place by the 2 fork clamps) I had the speedo drive turned down a few mm and made a spacer to fit the other side to get the wheel in the middle. the callipers where also off a GSX11 that i already had and made a bracket so they lined up with the B6 disc's.
this is the finished bike before i sold it.

this was a mix of bits I had lying around, GS750 frame GSX750 engine and GSX1100 swinger and forks. I used bandit 600 wheels (same as other mid range Suzuki's) a little bit of a squeeze but doable !!!! the disc's where about 3mm from the fork legs but the main thing is they cleared.

I guess the bandit didn't sell as good as it did in Europe ??? if you just want a better tyre choice then you could fit a wheel of something like a bandit 600 or something ? not quite as wide as a B12 but plenty of tyre choice. i did that on one of my projects.

the bandit front end i imagine will be pretty cheap over your way ???
i have a bunch of guitars too but nothing special

if it is because it was upside down it'll eventually burn off.

the mk1 and mk2 forks are similar but up to 99 the mudguard is bolted to the fork brace (bracket) with top mounts, the mk2 has a more conventional mudguard mounts on the side of the legs. also the calliper mount holes are different. decent enough forks though.

are you sure you can press the stem out ? im pretty sure all of them are a steel yoke and the stem is welded in !!! unless its an ally yoke ?

not sure of the price ? whats that in ££££ but the more modern USD are pretty short compared to your forks so the bike will do a nose dive !!!! the forks off the GSXR1100 1990-93ish are the longest but getting harder to find in good nick.

this is one of the reasons we fit big fat wheels for modern tyres

Do you want someone to fit them as well? Surely you can measure the width of the bracket and add 10mm for a nut and washer? BTW my recommendation above was ASSUMING a M8 bolt - it maybe M10 as I assumed you be aware!
chill out man, it was an innocent question, if you dont know it doesn't hurt to ask.

its a tricky job as the clocks are sealed, you have to peel back the edge of the rim to split the clocks, ive seen the faces on bgay.
