79 GS1000/1100 what parts are these?

[Gentleart]

My dad is giving me a 79 GS1000 for fun. I thought about adding a 180 rear and began looking for parts and stumbled upon someone selling a 79 GS1100 with a 120/180 set up but they weren't sure what they came from, they bought like this. I picked it up for $150 with a title so I figured it was worth at least that.

 

The front  looks like it's possibly from an SRAD GSXR?, the rear swing arm I can't identify at all. Any help would be appreciated!

I was going to buy that bike! Lol. Didn't in the end other things transpired. Definately got gsxr wheels and forks what year I don't know. But the arm is an old skool kalfab arm. They made them in California for all the 70,s 80s gs,kz,cb. Quite sought after now, worth a lot more than you paid for the whole bike I think you also have some 29 smoothbore carbs on that  bike if in not mistaken. Good cl find man.

Welcome to OSS.

That front end looks like from a GSX-R1100 to me.

slingy gsxr1100 front end, and what looks like a modified swingarm with a straight spoke bandit/srad/tl wheel.

does nobody introduce themselves anymore?.....welcome

Yup! Good start to a good project. And at that price? Can't go wrong! Keep the pictures coming, and welcome!  

[Gentleart]

Thanks for the info guys. Sorry for no intro, I planned on doing one but was rushing last night. It'll be a stupidly slow project but hopefully fun.

Viz thats a Calfab arm which at the time (and do today) cost a fortune, but they are america's  jmc + Metmachex equivalent and very popular.

That's awesome to know. I kind of prefer the thought of a gsxr swing arm with a monoshock so I may wind up getting rid of it anyway, which would just fund the project

You can't put a figure on cool, keep the cool, 'specially when it works. Why go less cool?

Your project dude but, that is so hackneyed. That arm is new to me, I'd build a bike around it..
