general_piffle Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Hi all, if an aftermarket swingarm fits a GSX1100S Katana, then it should fit a GSX1000SZ Katana, shouldn’t it? I believe frames, and everything else, were the same on the two models, it was just the engines and carbs (for the VM32SS oval-slide equipped bikes) that were different. Quote Link to comment
TonyGee Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 the GSX 1100 frames are all basically the same so should fit ok. Quote Link to comment

Pedda Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 As far as I‘m aware a 1100 Kat swinger should fit in a GSX 750 frame. The Kat swinger will take a 5.5 “ rim with a 180 section tyre. 2 Quote Link to comment
Anders74 Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 (edited) Ah so 4.5 rim will fit in the original Gsx750 1981 swingarm? 4.5 is max? = ) is it 17" wheels? Edited September 30 by Anders74 Quote Link to comment

" i used an offset front sprocket and had the rear carrier turned down to get the chain in line, used a GS500 rear calliper as it sits up top (like the GSX) and a 600 bandit hanger and disc. fitting a wider rear wheel isn't plug and play, you have to do some mod's.

Anders74 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Is it no good idea to buy bandit 1200 2003 and use 5.5 rims on gsx750 1981 rim? Quote Link to comment

TonyGee Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 on my current GSX1100 i have a bandit 600 rear wheel as is easier but it will get a 1200 wheel at some point Quote Link to comment
Anders74 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Do you have bandit front wheel? Bandit breaks? Quote Link to comment
TonyGee Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 The black/blue one has a bandit front end complete Quote Link to comment
Anders74 Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 For the bandit 600 front, did the fork workt without mod? The axel and bearings same? Quote Link to comment
Anders74 Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 How did you do with the origal breakdisc back? Did it fit on the rim? Or you use bandit disc and caliper? Chain: does that work with 630 chain or can you change sprocket to 530 chain? Quote Link to comment
