    Luke, do you run your 1150 rims?

    '81 GS 1100EX - "Peace, by superior fire power."
    '06 FZ1000 - "What we are dealing with here, is a COMPLETE lack of respect for the law."

    I ride, therefore I am.... constantly buying new tires.

        Yeah, I need a pair of them. My stock 2" rim is not good for a 140, the tires wear very badly.

          Could y'all elaborate on the swing arm mods please. Back in the day (as my daughter says) we used to put CB 500 swingarms on our CB 750 dragsters. The swingarm bolted right up and added one inch to the wheelbase. Only those "in the know" could tell the difference. I'm building a '78 GS 1000 and would be very interested in doing the same to it if at all possible. Is there a "Suzuki" swingarm that will bolt up and give me a little more width and / or length? Any tips will be greatly appreciated. Thanx, Guy
          I just posted this..... after I read an article on a guy, Dennis Smith who set his 1000S up to race and eventaully refigured it for the street years later...

          I mention this cause I read where he raced Daytona with a SHORTER than stock swingarm ??? ( ..anyone have any idea why )

          lol also mentions a couple of other sweet Mods; 1023cc kit, 2 ring 11.0:1 pistons, original Wes Cooley cylinder heads and a Suzuki factory close-ratio tranny.....

          .... and he got this thing back on the road ...ffs.....:shock:


          what a ride that would be....:-D

            shorter wheelbases corner better.

            If you love it, let it go. If it comes back....... You probably highsided.
            1980 GS550E (I swear it's a 550...)
            1982 GS650E (really, it's a 650)
            1983 GS550ES (42mpg again)
            1996 Yamaha WR250 (No, it's not a 4 stroke.)

              LMAO! I live in Southeast Texas. What's a corner? Closest thing to hills we have here are called "overpasses"! Somebody told me a "box" swingarm from a GS 1100 will bolt right up. Is it longer, shorter or the same length? Guy
