    Then don't forget that the rear will also go down if you install a 17" low profile tire.

    Hello John,
    Things are moving right along. I should be getting the front end tomorrow and the wheels in about 2 weeks. I do have a question about swingarms though. I've pretty much decided on a '93 GSXR "banana" swingarm. I really like the looks of it on the kingsofvenus 750 I had thought that the arms for at least the 750/1100 were the same. I've found some Suzuki parts manuals which show different numbers for each arm. Also the numbers for the linkages are different as well. The swingarm I've got picked out says it's from a 750. I also found a linkage from an 1100, which I thought I would be able to use. Now I don't know. Can you shed some light on this?
    Thanks,
    Bix

      Hi Bix,

      I'm sorry but I have no experience with the GSXR 1993 swingarm.
      I agree, it's a very nice piece of gear
      Does the swingarm slip right into the frame?
      I'm sure Kingofvenus should be able to help?
      In the meantime,I found a picture for you that shows the swingarm with it's linkage.

        Thanks John, that picture represents a couple questions that I won't have to bug someone with.
