I just bought another 79 GS1000 and I was planning on doing something similar to what 80GS1000 did with his. Although, I would like to keep a dual sided shock swingarm on it to keep more of the old look, and because I would like to be able to mount dual Ohlins su143's. Does anyone know of a good swingarm that would fit any of the later GSXR wheels, be something of a straight bolt on to the frame, and would be a decent doner for having shock mounts welded on or has shock mounts already? I know I've seen someone with a Bandit swingarm on an 1100, I'm just not sure how well it would work for the older 1000, or how long it would be comparable to the original swingarms length. Also a question about the front end. If I were to purchase any complete 00-08 GSXR1000 front end, would it just bolt on without any modification (other than being resprung and having steering stops welded on the frame)?

An '80 to '83 1100E swingarm with the 1100 spacers and gsxr caliper hanger is a direct bolt in deal, but you will need to remount the caliper strut arm underneath of the swingarm. As far as the front end goes those year GSXR front ends wont work as they have double row ball bearings on the steering stem. You need to look for the ones with tapered roller bearings. I'm not sure which year they switched but you can look on Bikebandit's for microfiches of the steering stem you may be interested in. The other issue is your speedometer setup. If you want to run your original speedo you need a front end that uses a wheel driven speedo. -
