What frame

[92gsx750]

Hello, As you can tell this is my first post. I have been lurking around for a little while reading lots of threads. Just decided today to register so I can use the search function. However I'm not finding the information I'm looking for.

Sometime in the next year, once I finish my current project, I plan to start another build. What I'm wanting to do is take a gs frame/tank and add modern suspension ( usd front, 06 gsxr rear ) and a large power plant (1100+). A muscle bike of sorts.

Being new to the gs series, I'm wondering if any frame is better suited for this. I was thinking about trying to find a 1100e frame with title and build the bike up from there with a 82 1100e tank I have instead of buying a complete bike.

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Hi Mr 92gsx750,

Sorry I can't give you any specifics but I've seen suspension upgrades done mostly on the liter bikes. Even a few early models with dual shocks were converted to monoshock swingarms. There are some clever people around here.

Anyway, let me dump a TON of information on you and share some GS lovin'.

I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.

You can use a 750, 1000 or 1100 (not shafties and I think you would be best avoiding the L / 750T) frame for what you're thinking of doing and keeping things easy.

Nice, thank you for that. Now for the fun hunt for a frame with title.
