As long as this thread is swerving along, I see that the GS1000 swingarm has a different part number from the GS1100. What are the differences?
In this country, the 1100 arm is aluminum while the 1000 piece is steel

The smart money would be on a modification to the swingarm not the frame, if things need to be altered after the fact you only have one frame and the are multiple swingarms out there and yes, offsetting sprockets will need to be done.

One page of mainly off topic banter, does anyone here have a GS1100/ Katana swingarm with a chain guard ?

Hi guys. I'm using a gs1100 alloy swingarm on my GPZ and was wondering, for the people that have used this swingarm, what chain guard are you using ? 

Thanks

Today I pulled the swingarm out and found dual needle bearings on each side. I read in the Clymer manual that only ZR-1's got the dual needle bearings. Did the LTD's get them too?

Seeing your extending swingarm. Don't go too long! (It's not a BUSA on cycledrag!) You need a wider rim, just for looks? Make it easy and go with a Suzuki GS 1100 and a 3.5 rim. They show up on ebay from Oink or JJ Copper would have one.Unless you can spoke and true it yourself. Try and find a person to lace and true a spoke rim nowadays!I added 4" to a stock swingarm with a 4" x 16" hog rim with a 150 tire. using 3/8" offset with a 630 chain.Then this bike just sold, GS Szuk had a 3.5 with a 5.5 slick. I shimmed it for a stock front sprocket. Tear it apart! Start building stuff! Then it will sit for 12 years like me!     Crusty Old Bastard that I am! I have built a few!
Plus I put a Harley hubbed parts with 530 chain with a 5.5" x 18" with a 180 tire. couldn't find finished pic, that had a 5/8" plate and offset. And a fiberglass Beasly fender. Sold it to a guy who wanted the shocks kept. I wanted struts. But it was his money.
Just do it!

Discovered a new oil patch on my local on ramp. Not too much damage, and most things can be easily fixed except for a scrape on the tail and some road rash on the swingarm. I rode it home. This is why you always gear up even for small errands, i didn't get a scratch. Time to make it better.

Definitely air shocks up front.  Added 10psi to each side over the weekend and it's good now. 
I just had the fork seals and oil changed in the front. 

Still a bit confused.  Do you have air shocks in back, the rear twin shocks under the seat to the swing arm?  You mentioned fork seals and oil changed in the front.  I don't see how you have air in the forks?  
Just trying to help.

Just to throw another great U.S. made suspension manufacturer into the mix:  Worx Performance Shocks.  They custom tailored the shocks for my KZ 650.  If they have not made a shock for your particular model, they will take your measurements from your bike; swingarm to lower shock mount.  lower shock mount to upper shock mount, etc. 
Here is their link. >>>  Street Bike Shocks (worxshocks.com)

PLUS, don't forget your fork springs.  If you do not put in heavier rate fork springs, you will find yourself with less control on braking such as fork dive when riding two up.  Also, my stock springs were so soft that I would get head shake and loss of control at speeds above 90 mph.   RaceTech makes some great fork springs as well as Progressive.  They will also provide to your weight/riding style.  Here is the Racetech website >>>     Race Tech    

Here is my KZ with Worx Performance Shocks and Race Tech fork springs.  It handles great two up and holds lines in corners very well.
