Gsxr 600 suspension on 81 GS750

[chainbearer]

I recently came across a 97 gsxr600 parts bike. All of the suspension is straight and tight, so i decided to use it for my 81 GS. I found a site with bearing sizes, but I think I will need to have a bearing made or replace the neck. The original top bearing is 26mm ID 47 OD and 15mm width, bottom is 30, 55, 17, respectively.

Original sizes on the GSXR are 35mm ID, 55OD, 14 wide on the top bearing and the same on the bottom.

I was wondering if anyone has had bearings made for any projects here, and if someone could give me a good direction to go if I need to weld a different neck on or something. Maybe the bearing cups from the Gsxr?

I thought All Balls was Chinese low-quality stuff?

allballs is where I got the measurements at. I just didn't know if anyone had done this modification on their GS yet.

plenty of GSXR front end swaps. Should be fairly straightforward. Bearing stops, ignition plate, length need to be considered. You can likely either use the GSXR bearings or get a conversion bearing..

Yeah, It was just for the conversion chart on their site.

Look for SV650 conversion bearing. They are available.
