GSX750 ES Swingarm + Head stem DIMS

[BananaSplit]

Hi all, first time around here.

Made a recent purchase of a 83 gsx750 ES, but in need of some quick help getting dimensions. Does anyone have dimensions for the swingarm pivot width and the head stem height? Just need to narrow down possible donors for a front end and swingarm swap. Bike is on the way, but need to get to the wreckers asap as they are closing down and just chucking stuff out real quick. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

The swingarm is 226mm wide at the pivot including the dust caps

Thanks coombe, I tried looking around the forum but didn't have luck getting exact dimensions. Appreciate that.

It's the same width as the gsx1100et, ez, sz etc. Also gsxr600 & 750 srad & k1,2 & 3 are the same width though bushes are needed as the spindle is a  much larger diameter

thanks again Coombe, going down today to have a look at potential swaps, this info will come in real handy.

picked up a '04 CBR600 front end and a '95 GSXR750 braced swingarm. Bike will arrive in a couple of weeks so looking forward to getting started.  Might swap for a 600 K2 swingarm later though, not sold on the bracing yet.

Check that the brace clears the frame by the side covers before you go too far with fitting.

thanks for the heads up, we are doing a full custom subframe so not too worried about that atm. Will need to do a rear suspension mount as well. Just not too keen on visual size of the braced swingarm, looks excessive compared to a 600 K1/2/3. Unless I'm missing something?
