Thank you, Jim.

Stock swing arm with matching 2nd gen Bandit rear rim. The 180 Pilot Road is a bit wide, so when it is done for, I'll go with a 170mm for a bit more clearance.

170 is perfect

82-1100e. Restomod

Here's my mildly modified very sweet Gs. For sale guys. Stock engine with pods and properly jetted carbs,v&h supersport pipe, bandit wheels with 170&120 braided lines,fork brace and not one broken tab.

Steve,


Looks really clean!


I'd be interested to know how much fiddling it took to get the Bandit wheel to fit into your stock(?) or early gsxr(?) front forks?

My baby

Have owned a couple bikes but this is still my fav. My 83 1100e with 1260 flatslides,gsxr750 swinger and front fork. Braced frame, dyna 2000 and a remote starter. I love riding this one.

Hey, you forgot something.

Oops. Lmao

[amxsteve]

If I was to do it again I would leave my rear shocks as well. Thats a beauty.

Dumb new guy question. Outside of trial and error, how the hell did you guys figure out what parts off of other bikes swap on? I badly want to stick modern rolling stock on my bike. No idea where to start.

This thread is motivation though. Newer wheels and hide the stock head pipes and cans away.

This thread is a GODSEND!!

I've just acquired a 1990 GSXR 750 that I'm going to swap onto the '85 1150EF. The trial and error will happen I'm sure but, from what I've seen here and a couple other threads, it's not quite as intimidating.

WOW - I really dig those Spondon brakes with the Astralite wheels! With the RAASK pegs and Metmachex swinger - Pure Unobtainium, and yet this is all stuff which could be translated into Kawasakinese or Hondanian, perhaps even Yamaharrr.... It's beautiful, and furthermore I can certainly picture it all swapped over to the likes of my "CB900K0 Bol Bomber" or practically any other period Superbike. Heck it's all so advanced you could stick it onto a model some five years after these bikes and it would still be an upgrade. Awesomeness personified - or rather Bikonified, I should say.

-Sigh.
