im planning on running all the gsxr components as far as calipers and rotors

also wondering how mounting the swingarm came out i had some ideas on how to run the kz pivot bolt by creating a slug and some spacers but i was a little iffy on that, not knowing the strength of the stock pivot bolt and if it would hold up
any more info on that would help
thanks again

I have the swing arm mounted on a parts bike at the moment, it was easy to do! The stock pivot bolt is plenty strong enough, most of the force I believe is on the shock not the pivot. Your plan with the spacers and slug sounds like exactly what I did.

OK great I had everything planed out in my head but the only thing I was able to finish was the front end and now that I'm living/ going to school in Florida my bike is back home in new jersey and I will only get to work on it twice within the next 14 months so when I head back up north I'm going to try and hammer down and get things moving again

BTW I found a company who makes a complete set of laced wheels for the gsxr :woohoo:
Thanks for helpin out

Hey 78KZKID,
here are some pics of what I was talking about in the PM.
Good luck!

Definitely following this build as I finished my 650 streetfighter build last year. I like where this is going...
