New GS Swingarm - Need axle

As usual, after winning bid on GS swing arm anouther comes along, item # 1302810007006 w/bits.currently @ a $100.00 G

I used a Axle from a KZ1300. You can buy the new pretty cheep or do like I did, get one off of eBay. They fit perfectly.

Here is another pic of my GPz1100 with the GS Swing Arm

What is the measurment of the diameterof the axle.

The one i have is 20mm dia. X 13 3/4 inches.

It is hollow Roy

I know most people that do this swap use Suzuki shocks. I got some but the upper shock mount doesn't fit. The stud is too big (or the hole is too small). What is the best way to remedy this?

The shocks I have on mine are made for a GoldWing:angry: Dirty word I know but they are perfect. I bought the same Suzuki shocks and had the same problem. The GS swing arm has the mounts set a bit farther back because it is longer. This gives the bike a "Squaty" appearance. The GW shocks are an inch longer and make the bike look right, and handle much better.

And the GW shocks fit without any mods?

The shocks were a direct bolt on. Took about ten minutes to mount them. Because the GS swingarm is a bit wider I put a couple spacers between the frame and eye to bring them out about 3/16 on each side. The shocks I bought at BikeBandit.com I can give you the part # if you are interested.
