I’ve had no interest in my Little GSX550ES or my 600F rolling chassis and I want a project to while away what’s left of Winter! My question is, would my little 550 motor fit in the teapot frame? A daft mix maybe and in an ideal world I’d want an 1100F in there! Alas, as on a budget as in skintsville, is this a viable, straightforward swap?? There’s plenty of space but it might look a bit lost in there or need lots of brackets / engine mounts making up? Views, opinions and pointers please? Pics of both are attached.

I swapped out my tired old baggy rear shocker for one I had fitted to my old teapot 750 project, it's a Showa one from a VFR400 I think? It looked a similar size and went in without too much drama but it's clearly shorter than the original as my bike now sits a good two to three inches lower on the back end! Looks like a drag bike now! Does anybody know of any other Suzook rear shockers that would be a direct bolt up replacement? I don't mind raising the rear a tad so slightly longer would work a treat :-) I know I can buy a Hagon, Wilbers etc. but there all knocking on north of £300!
