1983 gsx550 basket case

[and1234rew]

Hi all,

Need a bit of help

Just bought a basket case that consists of a

1981 gs550 modified frame

1985 gsx550 engine

1983 gsx1100 katana swing arm and wheels

1984 gsxr750 forks with anti dive

There are parts missing,

Could anyone suggest alternative parts as I'm having trouble sourcing them.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance for the help

Welcome, replace with a Big fat turbo kit...now go introduce yourself properly, and read through the many different parts of the forum starting with TFR.

+1 with viz 

Carbs are a one off design for that engine and they can be a real pain to get set up, good engines thow.

Interdiction in the general section hose down well  then start a project thread in project section with pics  and tell us your plans for the bike wealth of know how on here.

Hi bud. 

Welcome to OSS.

Don't know what your building experience is but you have a lot of parts that won't easley go together.

Kat 1100 swing arm pivot spindle is much bigger than the gs550.

Kat front wheel in slabside forks never seen that before, I'd look out for some slabside wheels myself

gsx550 carbs are a pair of twin chokes, theyre a horrorshow, fit anything else but them......
