Gsx600f front end swap

[Stewart750]

Hey guys, so after the old et was finished being built I needed something else to do for a laugh, so now I have a 91’ 600f in my possession, and I’m looking at front ends that are fairly simple to swap over also does anyone know if a 160 tyre fits the original swingarm?

Just got this of @fatblokeonbanditit's got a gsxr750 slingshot upside down front end and a 5.5" wheel with a 180 tyre in the standard arm. It's all in the projects section

Thankyou mate, I will have a look, also I’m looking for over the top clip ons or underneath as it’s going to be a track bike

I have a set of 750M ones. You’ll have to decide what front end you want first.

I was thinking like 600srad as there rwu and fully adjustable, but if usd are better and just as easy to swap in I’d be up for it

I got a first type swinger with 5.5J with 170 tyre, 180 would be tricky with tyre standard offset sprockets. A b600/rf600 etc have 4.5J for 160 tyre and fit original sprocket carrier. I have one for my gsx6/11f.

I was looking at the fork chart and there longer than the 600f apparently? Also somehow I have a 160 wheel out of a zx6r first gen lying around so might see if I can get that in the swinger.

I was looking at forks off a zx6r but not sure on stem length or if it’s even possible as I know the rwu and adjustable.

Any major issues with fitting? I’m guessing lockstops had to be made?

Srad 750 forks, 4 pots tokico, 310mm discs (600/750 k5?), srad whell, and brake pads from 4 pots nissin (b12 mk1 example)

Did any of you guys have to press the stem out? or was it just a bearing swap?

Lock stops as normal, and off the shelf bears from all ball racing, no need to swap stems, I think it's in my project Hellcat build.

I did read through the whole project and thought it looked great! But couldn’t find anything on stem swap or bearing change when you changed it over, unless I’m blind! 
 

and thank you for the info much appreciated! Don’t suppose anyone knows of any rearsets that fit off the shelf? From the looks it’s going to be adapter plates me thinks

If memory serves me right, only the upper bearing. Of course, I replaced the bottom one with a new one
