Fooey, the online fiches do not list the sizes I have seen. Looks like M10 and sounds like an M10 but cant confirm.
She suggested crotchrocket.com, but I can not see any sizes for the bolts.

I hope you are getting this beast together, I will cut and paste the suzuki-guru's last email to me.
I had the same question but was too polite to ask!
The diameter of the shock-bolts on my katana (GS, not GSXF) is indeed 10mm - and I'm 99% sure that the later GS-1100 was the same - but I would not bet
my life on it.
...for an idea about how to locate the holes for his shocks - he needs to fit the swingarm into his KZ frame and then locate the mounts on the swingarm to work with the top-mounts on his existing frame... reason being that the shocks are going to be mounted to the KZ frame at the top-mount and the optimum location of the lower-mounts will probably differ from the OEM location on the GS swingarm anyway.
I am curious though - is this gonna be a streetbike that sees dragstrip duty? If it's gonna be a dedicated dragbike, why not just use struts and a
wheelie-bar with a slick?
