spartan Posted December 11, 2023 Posted December 11, 2023 Greetings, masters of suzuki world I'm a new member, but a reader for long time, and i admire all the knowledge you spread... Important part: Can anyone tell me what steering stem head will fit direct swap on gsx1100f 92' I like the clip-on style, but mine is not in good shape (something is eating it...) Maybe any other gsx 600/750 / busa.... Tired of searching and no crossreference to iluminate me. Big thanks I am building something different (i think...) every bolt was removed, frame modified, handmade parts... I will post some photos of the full on-going project soon. Quote
clivegto Posted December 11, 2023 Posted December 11, 2023 GSX, gsxr slabside and slingshot are straight swap with maybe steering lock stop alterations. Later gsxr k series will fit with bearing swap. Any setup can be made to fit with a little ingenuity and modification Quote
wraith Posted December 11, 2023 Posted December 11, 2023 Welcome to OSS As Clivgto says anything will fit but gsx/gsxr etc will go in which ever one you will probably have to look at altering the lock stops. I've got a gsxr600 srad rwu front end in my gsx1100f, just got the bearings off All ball racing and altered the lock stops. All in my project build thread gsx1100f hellcat in the project pages. Quote
spartan Posted December 12, 2023 Author Posted December 12, 2023 Clivegto and wraith thanks you very much. But... None of those have the Slip -ons Over the head like This image, to use the same i have. Any ideia on what other model uses This? I was a bit Lost with the terminology...as we dont use those Nick names like slabby.... So i had to dig... Some like b4 b12 tea pot. Are still strange to me. Is there a lista of those? Kkkk By the way. Whats the best chance to use a 180 tire without changing swing arm? I like This rims but with 16" its expensive tires and rare arround Here. Best choice rims? Or compatible from other brands... Sorry for that. Thanks Again Quote
wraith Posted December 12, 2023 Posted December 12, 2023 If you like that style, look at Hayabusa front end. Are you keeping the big fairing on it? If so that may give you some more problems. Someone on here has recently got a gsx1100f and kept it looking standard but with better running gear (17" wheels etc) can't remember who and can't remember if it was in oil cooled or project section. My be worth you have a good look though then pages but it was 2 or so mouths ago. Quote
Ivan Posted December 12, 2023 Posted December 12, 2023 1100r oil cooled wheels are an easy fit, adapterplates for frontbrakes, rear almost plug and play. Mine on rf900 wheels,rear little narrower but even I could do it (with help from machinery friend) so no rocket science... measuring, thinking and puzzling 1 Quote
spartan Posted December 13, 2023 Author Posted December 13, 2023 Wraith Can you tell wich tope Gomes have the same distancie between Holmes and offset from the center nut? Thats the most important. Isnt it? Hayabusa are good choices... But a bit too big looking ...as i am reducing.... No fairing, no nothing. Just trying to use the basic and create the rest . Even the frame was reduced... Doing some laser and CNC parts now... Ivan What is the tyre you are using on RF whells? Are the rims 3.5" or larger? Puzzling is what Im doing from the beggining....lol Quote

Puzzling is what Im doing from the beggining....lol Think I know what you mean, the only way I know is to put them side by side but someone may know? RF front wheel is 3.5" for both the 900 and 600 but the 600 has a smaller spindle and uses the same discs as the b6 MK1 The rears are 5.5" for the 900 I think 4" for the 600 but it maybe a 4.5"? Quote
spartan Posted December 13, 2023 Author Posted December 13, 2023 And tires? Do 5.5" rims fit the swing arm ??i just want to use something arround 180tyre. The original 150 looks like a kids bike... Sorry for the errors on the last post... Automatic correction from portuguese layout... But you got that 1 Quote
Ivan Posted December 13, 2023 Posted December 13, 2023 I have 170 on the 5.5 rf900 rear, understood for a rf900 standard? My 750f has a 170 on a 5.5 gsxr1100 rear, they use standard a 180. I always thought 5.5J was for 180 but choose so for extra space to chain. Quote
spartan Posted December 13, 2023 Author Posted December 13, 2023 Ivan. Thats a good looking tear SIDE. But... Does it fit the gsx1100f rear original swingar? Im trying to use it. Thinking about original wheels too.... But no options for 170/180 tires on 16" Ok..just a few but toooooo expensive for the ideia. Justo trying to make the most by own hands.... Not buying Emerald parts.... Thanks Quote
wraith Posted December 13, 2023 Posted December 13, 2023 Don't know about the standard swingarm but I've fitted a gsxr600 srad then a gaxr1000 k1-3 swingarm in my gsx1100f with a 6" rim with 190 tyre looking at putting a 200 tyre on the rim, when I can find a part used one first to make sure it will work Quote
Ivan Posted December 13, 2023 Posted December 13, 2023 Yess standard swinger, original sprocket carrier, rf wheel,brakedisc, brake calliper holder, little spacer and an extra home made spacer other side between calliper holder and swinger, home made thing from calliper to swinger see pic. 1 Quote
Ivan Posted December 13, 2023 Posted December 13, 2023 Made you a pic of spacer wich made all parts above fit. Looks awefull dirty but has to do with a mattblack bike and to much light to make good pic Quote
spartan Posted December 14, 2023 Author Posted December 14, 2023 Ivan, pics are good enough to understand the work. So.... With RF whells stays everything stock with some changes? Same brake discs and calliper. I think larger than 170 tire would bem hard, no? Thanks you very much. Wraith Those GSXR swingarms are direct swap? Fit the frame? Any of them fit to use the rear shock absorver from gsx1100f? About the inicial question.... I think i Will buy stock top yoke... Cant figure yet compatible ones to use clip-ons above it.. Continuing.... Front foot sets and rest.... Any with modern look that fit the hole? Now i show the weird thing... Before and now Quote
Ivan Posted December 14, 2023 Posted December 14, 2023 With other wheel you need other brake disc, matching the wheel. Brake calliper 1100f has bolts further from eachother, seen guys make them oval but I took a matching calliper. For calliper above swinger I used gsx600/750f, hanging under the swinger you need other type. For 1100r wheel you can bend the thing I got welded from calliper to swinger. 1100r wheel fitted better with 180 tyre. I got a set of rf900 so wanted 2 same wheels in the bike. Used the 1100r wheel in my gsx750f, same type with bended spokes, matching the gsx750f frontwheel. Another big advantage of 17 inch wheels is way better frontbrakes! Most use 310mm I thought, b1200, 1100r with calliper on adapterplates. I don't like that look,also got parts of gsx600/750f so used 298 mm discs (also rf600, b6) on spacers... with the way better nissin 4 pots. 1 Quote

Before and now All depends on how you look at a direct swap the swingarm goes into the frame but you need to sleeve the pivot bearings down. I used the gsxr600 srad shock with the standard top gsxf mount but I altered the bottom one, as I used the srad linkage, as I didn't have a gsxf one. The 5.5" srad wheel lines up nicely with a 180 rear tyre but a bit more work to fit the 6" rim. Bandit 400 footrests bolt straight onto the f frame. Quote
wraith Posted December 15, 2023 Posted December 15, 2023 And a brown seat, you will get on well here 1 Quote
spartan Posted December 15, 2023 Author Posted December 15, 2023 very usefful info. Thanks. Better start searching parts and drawings. Brown seat came with it.... And tank coloque Will change It Will have a completely handmade One. Bandit 400 front foot rest seem very diferente and longer... Junto trying to know some that have the same hole fixing distance... In the look of gsxr Quote
spartan Posted December 15, 2023 Author Posted December 15, 2023 If i remember... Gsx1100f 92 os 70mm aprox between frame Gomes... Quote

spartan Posted December 15, 2023 Author Posted December 15, 2023 Bandit 400 not like very much and little hard to find or expensive... Any from other early modelos with same hole distance? On the GSXR style? Quote
wraith Posted December 15, 2023 Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) No, you will have to make some plates for anything else that I know of. Then you can get what you like. Edited December 15, 2023 by wraith Quote
