Hey 

Im new to this forum, im just got me an 1980 gs75x with an alu swingarm from an gsx 1000, how wide rims can this swingarm tale ?? Want to go with 17" and better brakes and suspension in both front and back, is the best way to go an 1200 bandit fork og is it an gsxr thats best ? 

Best Martin

Hi and welcome to OS's☺ you can put a b6 or the 4.5" gsxr rear wheel in the gsx swing arm, the b12 yoke stems are longer than the rest of Suzi ones but can be done or put a gsxr front end in as same stems and berrings.

Welcome. Best to ask the tech questions in the air cooled section.

Bandit 6 or SV 650 ( they're the same) rear wheel fits with the appropriate spacing and a little machining of the cush drive for chain alignment.. you'll get a 160 tyre which is plenty wide enough. A teapot 600 0r 750 caliper works if you want to keep the over slung s Bandit 12 front end is long enough and the brakes make a big difference.

Thanks for the advice :-) this is my first old bike i have had , the plan for it is to make it a bit more modern in wheels frame and brakes but stil to keep it look like an "fast" bike of the early 80' have spent some time om evil Bay this afternoon and a fork og an gsxr it must be

Just arived home from 2 weeks offshore to see my rear wheel and fork is arrived, looking into brakes and found some from an 99 gsxr1300, but what will fit for front wheel and disk ?? Is all Suzuki wheels the same in the center ?

Startede to get the front end togehter ,but cant find som brake disk ,only new ones and they are a bit pricey got the fork from a 97 gsxr 750 and 6 pot brake caliber from an 2004 gsxr 1300 but those 320mm disk i cant find used. Can 310 mm disk be used ?
