Yeah I got that Rick .....but if you're going to swap out that efe pogo stick front end for "inverted".....that usually comes with a wheel swap ..... swinger and wider rear wheel usualy follow ..... 

Thanks for the input. And Yes, i have come to the conclusion that i'm swapping the complete front end; tires brakes and everything. we'll see about the rear swinger

So there you have it, 1100L/M best option, then 750L after that.  As said K series may look better but overall they fail on such a heavy brute of a bike  

Thank you, think i have tracked down a 750L front End. not that big of a second hand market here in Norway, but hopefully i'll get what i need.

Hi Zen,

What Baldrick says,

The 1100 W's are 770mm long, the 1100 M / N are 740 I think.

The water cooled were the longest I think & the heaviest of the GSXRs, so that might help with a big heavy EFE.

I put some 1100M's on a GSX 1100 & it was decking out very early, had to have them extended by 2 inch to sort it out.

I've got some W usds on my Slabby & they work a treat, great tyre choice, great brakes & no more diving.

PS. nice bike Rick.

 

Ended up with a complete front end from GSXR1100W,  thanks for the suggestion Nelson. 

Now to figure out the back end setup.

Nice one Zen, they’re not easy to come by. 

If your really lucky the last of the W’s has a real sweet swing arm  

Happy hunting & Happy New Year

I wasn't planing on swapping the swing arm, but it might change as my project evolves as No class predicted. 

Thanks again and Happy New Year.
