swingarm swap for 85 gs 1150 e?

[Anonymous]

Hello, If anyone has information on which swingarm to use for a replacement on a 85 gs 1150 e so it can accomodate a wider tire, please let me know @ resurrectioncafe@hotmail.com. Thanks for all your help.

what size tire are you trying to accomodate? knowing that would be helpful, also what size rim have you got?
i use a gsxr wheel with a 170 tire on a 1100 swingarm.

if i remember right, fitting the 1150 wheel on my 82 gs1100e was a big pain because it wouldnt center and a lot of spacers were used... quite possibly the 1150 swingarm is narrower than the 1100 (can anyone confirm this?).

but then your 1150 is a monoshock isn't it?
TIME FOR A TWIN SHOCK CONVERSION!

i'd say get yerself a 89-92 gsxr swingarm, but then i probably have no idea what im talking about as im just guessing. i know nudding, always remember that when you read my posts ok?

The problem with 1150 is the linkage is hat the top so you will have to make the some mods to the frame for the linkage and shock. but if you go with a 4.5in wheel it will go in the 1150 swinger .

I used a bandit gsf600s back wheel with a gsx600f sprocket holder (its smaller than the bandit one) milled down by 10mm and one a smaller spacer on the sprocket side and rear caliper bracket wos milled to fit. you will need to go from a 630 chain to a 530 chain and offset your engine sprocket as well. you can make one out of two engine sprockets.
