If my memory serves me correctly I believe there were mods done in order to make it work. Anyone have the recipe or some pics?

There was a long discussion on this subject between myself and Salty Monk here: http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...185759&page=10
I believe we didn't agree on the end result but it's definitely worth reading through

Thought maybe of doing an 1150 swingarm swap on the rear leaving the stock look...Comment

You can but the brake stay has to be modified. My 130 just fits on my 700 with very little wiggle room.Originally posted by mriddle View PostComment

I'm running a 180 GSXR rear wheel in my stock GS1100 Swingarm. It can be done and relatively cheap. Plus it looks awesome and I can now run radial tires.Comment

The 1150 swingarm does not fit the 750/700. I've tried it, they are not even very close even though they look the same from a distance.
Main difference is the 1150 swinger is a littler longer (than the 750, probably no longer than the 700) & a little wider (not much at all from memory) & has the slots milled out for a bigger 19mm axle.

Joe, I have a 160 in the stock swingarm. You only have to bend the stay a little to clear the tire. Just pick up a spare if you don't want to bend your good one.Comment

What about swapping the front out with the 1150 as well?Comment

Checking part numbers on the bearings and the bearing support would go a long way in determining if it will fit.Comment
