    GS1100 5.5" rim?

    Anyone know what 5.5" GSXR rims will fit a GS1100 arm? The arm will be off of an 83 1100E.

    Would I use the 1100E spacers or the GSXR spacers correct to the rim? There is mention of this swap that I found using the search function, but no year range or details past "gsxr 5.5 fits 80-82 gs750/1100"

    Thanks a bunch!

    Edit: The whole package would be going into a 78 gs750

    I have had a -90 GSX-R1100 wheel in aluminium -83 GS1100 swing arm. I used the GS sprocket carrier which gets the chain closer to the wheel. Custom spacers were necessary.

      You will probably have to to a 530 chain and offset front sprocket also.

        True. Space for the chain was very limited on GS1100. I don't know about the 750 but I guess it doesn't have any wider frame.

        The brake caliper will need some creativity as well. I used a GSX-F (Katana) caliper on GSX-R hanger with custom torque arm.

          Rear 5.5 wheels

          90-95 GSXR 750
          Bandit 1200 all years




          For some more info.

          Katman can cut you a custom spacer to align the sprocket/chain side or you can mix and match.

          Look at my GSXR budget build thread to see how I worked out the rear caliper hanger.

          Alot of ppl doing the conversion wind up going to the 520 sprocket set up for more clearance.

            RF900 wheels should work as well. DIDERV3 is the narrowest 520 chain.
