Suzuki gs trike

[badger]

I know a lot a you will hate this, but im thinking about Triking my Gs 1000g 82-83. I would use it more often if i did this, Is there any one with some pearls of wisdom regarding this?
Im thinking of an swing-arm conversion. ( so i can change back if ness) What is the ratio of the rear drive sharft, Ie 4.1, 3.1 E.T.C, in relation to a car axle/diff, some other name in USA ?
Any tit bits views would be welcome?
I am based in the Uk,
Thanks in advance.

Someone in the UK has converted their GS to a trike already... I can't remember what model or the member name unfortunately but hopefully some searching will bring it out of the woodwork...

Looks like this one was built a few years ago out of an 850 maybe they still have all the pictures and information to help you out on the 1000, plus looks like he is located in the UK.

I won't hate ya. If your equipment doesn't work for you, you've got to make it work or it's useless.

Your bike should have a 3.09 or 2.90 ratio. All U.S. 850G's, 1000G's and early 1100G's had 3.09's. 83 and 84 1100G's had 2.90. If I remember correctly.

The whole trike thing really isn't my cup of tea, but its your bike so do what you want with it. Whatever makes you happy.

One thing I will say...this looks like a real wheelie machine!

What about a add on type kit? Something like this.

Get a Can Am Spyder instead.
Normal trikes are ludicrously stupidly dangerous, especially tall ones made from a regular motorcycle.

Not a problem, it was cool looking for it. Trikes although an interesting idea don't quite do it for me, need to be able to get off the seat and lean on a bike heading up the local canyons
