Salvaged 1994 CBR600

[Dreef1999]

Hello, I am new to the forums!

I own a 1977 gs550 and I was wondering what parts could be reasonably salvaged off a 1994 cbr600 donor bike?

I see a lot of talk of swapping front ends and rotors etc etc but I don't have enough experience to know how to spot the assorted problems and pitfalls before hand.

I was just wondering if there was anything reasonably fun that can be done with these parts.

Thanks!

depends on whats wrong with the donor bike.

Thrown rod. Engine is probably completely done for. Wasn't crashed, tires rims suspension stock, electrical stock and working though battery is dead.

Price is $350 plus the PITA of picking it up. I figure could probably cover costs parting but I won't do it unless I can get something fun for my little GS.

Well I found that the CBR600f2 has a inner bearing diameter of 26mm. I can't find what the gs550 stem is.

goallballs says parts 22-1005 and 22-1020 fit each bike seperately but unless there is some code I can't decipher what that means.

Additonally they have this memo regarding fitting a replacement tapered bearing in the gs550. http://www.goallballs.com/pdf/Suzuki...g_Stem_Mod.pdf

I don't think that helps me determine this but I am getting the feeling that if you have to machine the stock stem from 25mm to 24.5mm to fit these bearings that fitting a 26mm in the same stem might be a problem?

Anyone able to help shed some light?

Found this little bit online searching regarding a yamaha and cbr match. Not a match for what i want but some information regardless.

I decided to use the swing arm from a 1988 Yamaha FZ600 and
the wheels and fork assembly from a 1993 Honda CBR600F2.
For the front end of the bike I want it to be known that I am
using taperd roller bearing from my RS350. I believe these bearing can be ordered from any of the company that cater to the RZ350 or any good motorcycle dealer parts department.

The bearings that the stock RZ350 fork uses are 25x48x13 for the
upper and 30x48x13 for the lower. The first number refers to the
inner diameter of the bearing; the second to the outer diameter
and finally the third is the height of the bearing. ....

The second issue was over come by machining the inner
diameter of the bearing out to the 26mm needed to fit the Honda
fork. If you wanted to check your local bearing supply they
might have a taper bearing of the size needed to do the job
without machining the bearing. You would need a 26x48x13 or
something that had a 26mm inner and 48mm outer diameter.
The height could be in a range from 13-16 or 17mm if such a bearing does exist.

Anyone help to decipher this?
