Probodydoc Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 So I'm building my 1983 750ES. Hoping someone here can be helpful on what swingarm/5.5 wheel combo is a fairly easy fitment. I want to retain the"full floater" rear suspension. Anybody have the knowledge I am seeking ? Quote Link to comment
wraith Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Welcome to OSS, There been quite a lot of people in the project pages who have done gsx750es (UK name ) so someone will be a long to help. Quote Link to comment
Hardassfunk Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 There's is no straight swap, to swap the Swingarm you have to modify the frame/linkage Quote Link to comment
snoorder Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 My brother in law (with some help) has almost finished his project. No straight swap at all and no more full floater suspension. 5,5" wheel though ;-) 1 Quote Link to comment
DopeNessMonster Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I've got an '85 pop-up Kat, which is the same under the skin and built my own swingarm for that purpose. Not sure I'd do it again, but it did keep the full-floater and all the stock geometry, yet uses later running gear. Currently swapping from '99 TLR to '06 GSXR600 stuff. 8 Quote Link to comment
