Project 1100 Bandit/Gsxr conv

[John Kat]

What year GSXR1100 forks are suitable? Im looking at some 1990 GSXR11 forks complete with front wheel, disc's and calipers etc. Any reason why you used Bandit wheels and not GSXR wheels?

Seems easy to get the whole front end and bolt it in..

thanks

I've done an upgrade with a GSXR 1100 K ( 1989) fork and it fits like a glove.
Two concerns however:
1) you need to build new lock stops on the lower T
2) you loose ground clearance.
Here's a picture:

91-95 1100 front ends work best, I bought the Bandit wheels with the rear end as a package.

92-95 give you the added clearance..

Rear Wheel Size

What size of rear wheel are you using on this build? Thanks.

[jwhelan65]

Stock rear from a 98 bandit 1200

[jwhelan65]

Hmm..what do we have here.....



ahhhhh...yes



My 36 flattys have arrived...

[jwhelan65]

finally getting this thing on track..

[Sci85]

Yum yum...Love those flat slides. I wish I could figure out a way to get 4 Keihin FCR's onto my bike. Now THAT would be sweet.

[jwhelan65]

Well, I know this has been a marathon build but I finally have some time and space to work on my project. Just leased a corner commercial two stall space that I think will work out perfect.

[jwhelan65]

I have an 83 engine ready to mount into this thing along with a nice VH pipe. Working on getting the clocks and the rear sets mounted ..

Your new work space is nicer than my house.
I would be afraid to spill or drop anything on the floor.
With the quality of your builds it is appropriate.
