Can I use an early 80's 1100 model front and rear sprocket on a 79 GS1000?

The rear sprockets from the very early RE 5 rotary Suzuki's thru the GS1150's will interchange, only difference is # of teeth. Don't know if the smaller bikes will be the same. Not completely sure, only appx. 93% sure, the 1000 & 1100 fronts are the same

If they arent identical, they'll only be one tooth off.
I know that the 77 and up 750s used a 630x96link chain, 15t front, 41t rear. (i think in 80 they maybe went to a 42t rear)
my 83 1100 used the same chain same front but a 42t rear.
Either way, one tooth up or down in back will not make a DRASTIC difference in the gearing. Moreso if it were the front sprocket that were different. Otherwise tho, they are identical, and you can use any sprocket from a GS (i know 550 and up, not sure bout the smaller machines) on any other GS....unless of course, its a shaft drive...then, well, you're screwed.

Thanks, I thought that it had to be very close. I wanted to change to a 530 chain and sprocket set. The guy selling the item said it would not fit, but I think he was just looking at the package and really did not know.

He's fulla crap
you need, for as close to stock gear ratio as possible with a 530 set up:
17 tooth front
48 tooth rear
114 link chain
masterlink
If your stock front sprocket was anything other than a sprocket (say if it has a metal plate or something bolted to it) you will also need their 6mm spacer
Z1 has all this stuff, shipped to my door with an RK XWring chain, 160 bucks

18 front is better and ZX6 zx11 gsxr 750 1100 all use 530 front sprocket and fit gs 1000 gs1100
rear is easy I use sprocket specialists and EVERY size and bolt pattern available.. aluminum and steel choices
I also can get offset front sprockets for the larger rear wheels every one loves so much.. D&G chassis makes 'em with or with out outer bearing support.
3/8,5/8,1" , 2", 3", you get the picture..
