'83 GS1100~'99GSXR-600 Front/Rear Suspension
Hi everybody.
Before i get into this i want to state that i have been digging and reading through quite a few threads and i am just asking for more specifics.
I have been keeping an eye on craigslist and finally lucked out with a guy parting out a newer gsxr.
I managed to pick up;
FRONT:
Full front fork assembly
Front brake assembly
Front wheel
Triples
Clip-ons
All controls
All hardware
REAR:
Rear swingarm
Rear brake assembly
Rear wheel
Sprocket
All hardware
Also managed to find a gentleman selling a bike jack he used twice to change tires for $55.
My GS is in storage and i am just trying to collect some info, tips and tricks before i pull the bike out and strip it down to the bare frame for the resto/cafe build.
I have found in the threads a link to AllBallsRacing and found that the front assembly at the bearings should fit nicely, the question is does anyone know if there is any other issues that i should be aware of (I.e. clearances, shaft length, brake assemblies, clip-on vs clubman bars, etc)
I haven't found any info in regards to the 99 rear swinger(gen 2?), is there anything that i should know and where would a good place be to get gears that would line up if they don't.
Other than that, weight not being a factor. Which do people prefer mono or dual shocks on these 1100's? I am leaning towards dual, just for two up reasons(top of 390lbs of goopy flesh on board) and i kinda like the look of the duals on older bikes.
Please don't berate me to bad and please any tips and info will be great.
