Swingarm?

[Guest]

What's gang?

I have a 83 gs1100e. I wanted to know what would be the best aftermarket swingarm to use or GSXR swingarm to use that will bolt right on?

Thanks, Supavert

All the newer stuff will be a monoshock swingarm & won't be a bolt-on swap. I'd say what is there will be hard to beat. Just my opinion

Some have used a bandit swingarm with shock mounts welded onto them.

What Dan said! The 1200 Bandit arm is about the easiest for the swap. Ray.

As above the bandit 12 swingarm is the easiest swap but you will need to either weld on shock mounts to keep it twin shock or weld on mounts for the monoshock, if going the monoshock route its better by far to also use the b12 linkage & dogbones etc

Back to original question, what would be the best BOLT RIGHT ON ???

[Ed Vrolijk]

The best BOLT RIGHT ON would be the '83 GS1100 E
Like you already said yourself, what's there will be hard to beat.

Agreed - unless you can find a Metmachex or similar and you'll be hunting for a while and pay a pretty penny for one of those.

Calfab!......... Good luck finding one in the first place & BETTER luck finding an AFFORDABLE one! Also, no one mentioned, you could buy a chromemoly swing arm from PMFR and it will bolt on but you need to figure out the axle spacers & rear brake. It will have shock mounts though. I do this all the time on fast street & dragbikes but I'm a fabricator. Ray.
