I do not know! I am a Kawasaki Guy! No idea other than GS 1100 81-83 Suzuki or a Conversion to Z1 0r KZ 900 or KZ1000????

Would this fit a 1980 kz750h?

Thanks! I hate to say I am a sucker for the greed bay site :sick: . It is on there. It can always be ended early for a local sale.
Between them and the money site I would give up about 15% of the sale price.
But if it where to be sold? private, terms could be a little different.
I know I can not post that site myself, but others can search it. :whistle:

Thanks, Marty in Buffalo

I've done a few suspension swaps. I can tell you first hand to research, research, and do more research before handing over cash for the parts.

I've been scoping this out for a while. I purposefully went with the 18" rims to maintain ride hight, this keeps me from having to Mickey mouse a suspension riser solution and keep the set of ZRX rear shocks I bought for it. Also the front fork width is just about dead nuts the same width as the Gixxr forks, so the front wheel should clear. The stock width for these rims is rear 150/70 (4") and front 110/80. If I have to change the rear swing arm, I think I'd go with a ZRX one.

damn thats nice! :ohmy:

thats the deal for someone looking to do this swap :evil: ...

All Cleaned up, new IKO bearings with machined collars. What a difference in bearing prices? These Suzuki bearings are the same as later KZ 1000's TA2530Z. Cut pivot spacers @ .180". .360" instead of .375" Added a zerk fitting.

Hey Hey Hey !!

If you live near Auburn California, come to the vintage show at the fairgrounds, the KZ will be there !

Psst that's everywhere that folks want 4grand plus for garbage.

Multiple reasons. Ebay prices on good condition bikes; the pawnstars effect (i cant pay that, will you take half) they bought it for that much, or theyre fishing for offers. I had an ltd frame/forks/swingarm/wheels/engine on craigslist for two months with no bite, for a couple hundred bucks, with title. Oh well, made room that bike's gonna get put together and sold that way.

I complained about the same crap when I joined, true story, the 550 is a better bike than the majority of 1000s they didnt get beat up as much, low collectability, incredible gas mileage and theyre light

As I understand it,If you want a fatter back wheel,youre going to need a wider swingarm. On my build I use a gsxr600 swingarm (direct fit)
and a Bandit600 wheel,with a 160 tyre.
A gsxr1100 wheel would have a 180 tyre (?), I dont see how thats going to fit in a standard swingarm. Also,chain run has to be thunk about,and if you want to have the wheel centered,the sprocket carrier is probably going to hit on the arm.(Though a lot of people reckon you can run a back wheel off center,I find that a very weird idea !.)

Good luck
