GS1100EZ upgrade with 1997 gsxr srad 750 running gear is it an option??

[Arronduke]

Is this an option for upgrading the GS1100EZ?
Obviously a 1100 would be better with longer forks but with a off set triple clamp to gain some height could it work.

In NZ parts are a rip and its easier to get the lot and sell what I don't what to use. From what I can tell the Srad has NO speedo drive from the front wheel. So I am thinking no good but I wanted to ask anyway.

I have a 97 750 front end on an 86 750 it is a lot of work but I did it because the price was right and I have machine shop capabilities a 95 or earlier complete front end is a bolt on will post pics soon just putting it back together after painting but did ride it about a month ago when the weather was good and with the new front end remote resevoir rear shock and 17 dunlop 207 the handling and the stability is pretty amazing well worth the work.

yeah try to find a 94 or 95 750 front end if you can - for those years suzuki was trimming some of the excess weight that the 93 had, so the front ends from the 94-95 may be a tad lighter. it's not gonna be a huge weight difference, though.

might be a fact one day

I have a 91 1100 w/ srad forks. I used 91-92 750 triple clamps,96 srad forks wheel and calipers, vortec clip ons and a srad fender. It works perfect. I have the clamps for sale . I also have a conversion kit to fit the srad rear wheel on a 91 1100.

Yes if you measure the tubes off of a 96-99 (not sure yet about the 00-01 sizes)with a caliper and the 91-92 clamps they are the same diameter . spacing is the same also for the front wheel with. I also used a 95 lower clamp once but had to modify the steering stops from let to right. Im going to the garage I will check my 1000 to see if the gold forks are the same diameter as the 96-99. When it comes to the suki's I have done a lot of parts swapping and modifiying .The srad forks on a older gixxer look sweet . You will also loose your speedo buy puting this front end on. I was working on using a 96 srad gauge set up but got side traked when my 1000 came in..

obviously not me... answering these question... just looking on the net.

Well there it is... no speedo... bugger.!

There are mechanical speedo drives that run off the countershaft sprocket. Here's one from the CB1100F forum -

Not sure how it will work on a Suzuki, but it's an idea.
