    I will stick with the GSXR triple I think... pretty sure there will be adequate clearance...

      I think you'll be fine with it. Even with the '88 front end I used to run it would only touch the header down in the most severe circumstances. It will probably be Friday before I can get the centerstand shipped.

        Thanks Billy. Got a new shock on the way today... Going the Ducati route. Hope the shock I get is in good shape!

        Worked out that I will lose 1" clearance with the setup I have running the 17" wheels. Still leaves 4.5" (without sag) but with a stiffer setup that should be enough.

          Dan, PM your address to me. I deleted a bunch of PMs and forgot your address was in one of them.

            Dan, here is a link to my bike build with lots of pictures of the GSXR front end installation on my 83 GS1100ESD. I also opted not to use the 954 triple and stuck with the GXSR suspention parts. The exhaust is a bit closer to the ground but it's not too bad. Adding stiffer spring by RaceTech worked out good for me! Hope this is useful!
