    Find out if he has done the frame mods for the new rear end. Is the wheel with it?
    Are the new bearings/steering stem included for the front end. Is the wheel with it?
    It could get expensive.

        You realize your could be buying someone else's screwup correct?
        From my read you have conveyed very little about what the bike really incompasses.
        All GSXR conversions are bolt on's except for the many details.
        The biggest issue is fork length and ground clearance.

          Oh I realize that! The reason I was posting on here was to maybe get some insight on what to look at and look for. Also I didn't know what if the parts alone would be good for the price they are asking. So your right I haven't conveyed much because I don't know much just trying to get some information on what goes into doing a swap like that. Just trying to learn

                What would that information have to do with it being a single sided swing-arm?

                  no such thing as a 99 GSXR1000. first one was a K1 (2001)

                    Unless you have another bike that runs and are looking for a motorcycle puzzle project, I would avoid this thing like the plague. There are too many unknowns - you could do all this work to have a nice suspension, and an engine that doesn't start or run, or a bent frame, or...

                      I do I have another gs1100 so this would be a project plus if it doesn't work I can always use the extra parts or make the bike stock again.
