Is there any specific reason to change the swingarm? If not, you can fit a GSXR wheel with a 160 tire on it to your existing swinger. Mine has a 170, but it´s too wide for the wheel. Older GSXR´s had these funny rear wheels. You may need to swap wheel bearings too, can´t remember. And modify your wheel spacers and rear brake caliper hanger. You´ll also need an offset front sprocket.

I´m affraid there is no real bolt-on option for these bikes, but all the above can be done without welding.

For front ends you need to find a chart with streering stem bearing dimensions. That gets you a long way.

I´m sure someone has done a front end swap with these, mine is still in progress and it´s a mix´n´match affair so I can´t help much.

 

I know the 1200 bandit front forks with struts fits nice

Not yet, but the space I have left, it should be okay. But will check thanx, Im going to swop out old air filter for 4 x small cone filters. Don't know if the short or longer ones will fit

worth trying your exhaust headers on now just to make sure theirs no contact with the frame tubes. or have you already done that 

First thing I did after checking clearances. Lol. And then the balance and chain clearance

It's in and fit like a glove. Everything lines up

i put a B12 swinger in my 750ET, i just used an ally tube that slid right through. 20mm O.D 14mm I.D. it fitted perfect (maybe a bit on the snug side) but thats not a bad thing. 

 

thanx, maybe ill try that

Full project on my bike in project section under project gsx1157et, mite help with some bits or ideas 

thanx will check it out

Hi wraith. Yes that's it. The bandits engine, forks and rims and the rest 750. Thanx dude! Got the engine in the sweet spot, just need to lift it about an inch, and fabricate the new mounting brackets

[1200 Bandit engine in gsx750e frame]

Hi guys, thanx for all the advise. It's an 81 gsx750e. I missed the clearance of the sump, thanx for that tip as well. I was thinking about putting engine all the way in front, and install a chain tensioner. I need to make new and 2mm thicker engine mountings for front, rear is almost the same story, but my headache is going to be the top rear mounting. I can either weld in the mounts or weld the complete cross bar from the bandit frame in. I really appreciate the help.

Hi, Im looking for tips and advise is always welcome. I want to fit a gsf1200 oil cooled engine in a gsx750e frame. Is there a specific clearance between engine and frame or is it rule of thumb? Ive read a few articles on here about guys attempting (succeeding) in similar build. My second question ; the chain allignment...is ther things i should look out for and is it better to space the rear sprocket to the engine or other way around? My third question ; if i want to change to bandit swing arm, is it better to put bushes in swing arm with thinner bolt or try and drill bigger holes in frame? (to be honest, i want to keep the 750 swingarm because it shortens the wheel space.
