Other front ends?

[Guest]

What's up Gang?

Is there anyone out there using other front ends on your gs 1100e such as, "Yamaha, Honda and Kawasaki" other than the standard GSXR?

Thanks, Supavert

So far ive used fireblade & R1 front ends as well as the usual gsxr ones :-)
If you are asking about fitting of a particular front end the answer will always be the same (from me at least) yes it will fit with the usual problems & messing around its just a matter of how much work you are willing or able to do

It would probably be easiest to stick with Suzuki stuff because a lot of the parts have remained the same over time. For instance a 2000 Bandit 1200 uses the same steering stem bearings (30X55X17 and 25X47X15) as the GS. A lot of the electrical connections have remained pretty similar over several years as well. There are several parts that swap over amongst the GSXR-RF900-Hayabusa lines too. I'm running Hayabusa front calipers on my '95 GSXR front end; Hayabusa rear caliper bolted to a GSXR caliper hanger, clamping onto an RF900 rotor; all boltons with no mods.

I agree with RJ, stay with all Suzuki parts if you can. I went with a 1993 GSXR 750 front end, 2001 1200 Bandit swingarm and 1993 GSXR 750 rims for my GS1100ESD/GSXR conversion and It worked out great!

Plus, why would you want to use "other " manufacturers sub standard parts on a perfectly good Suzuki? LOL!!! Ray.
