Anyone whos looked into a swingarm swap on this website will recognize the GS1100 Swingarm.

Though from what Ive read, Fitting in the frame is a simple matter of spacing with a couple of washers. Its going to take a bit more than a couple of washers to fill this. The CSR frame must be wider at the pivot bolt than the other
900/1000 frames. Be aware.

Also The GS1100 should be 1 1/2 to 2 inches (3.5 to 5.0cm) longer than the standard swingarm. Not so with the CSR. Im measuring original swingarm at 46cm (18.1 inch)

and the GS1100 swingarmat 47cm (18.5)

Which is good news as it'll mean I wont lose any height at the back end.Though I will still need to change the shocks as the mounts are different.

I had the same problem with spacing the swingarm on my 78 KZ1000 frame till z1wiz told me how he did it.
He gave me 2 of the thick flat washers that are used on the top of the KZ triple trees.
I slid one on each side and was done. They fit perfect.
Looks like you need the swingarm dust covers and thrust washers also?
The dust cover part number is. 61262-49201 (82-83 SUZ GS1100 swingarm)
I don't have the thrust washers part number though.

the tail and seat can be used.
but,
you are going to have to create some mounts and probably weld them on.

you may have an easier time just wrapping the area in saran wrap and fiberglassing yourself a pan up so it fits the tail in the rear and the tank in the front.

keep up the good work,
and keep us posted.

Thanks Leon... They is no way I'm using this seat......way too ugly. I'll order a Corbin and make it work. And the carrier will be on the way as soon as I can figure out how much I need to trim off..

The Tail. My Bike came with an Squared Tail/Fender, which I don't like. I love the Duckbill fender (which you see now). It is just sitting on there and not mounted. Does anyone have a suggestions on how I go about doing this? Also, I want to get a corbin seat. Would it be difficult to mount a seat made for a KZ900 (Duckbill) to my bike?

The GSXR 1000 Front end. I had Leon drill holes so I could mount Rental Fatbars.


The Swingarm, and Rear Shocks.

Here is the bike after the front Conversion (Thanks Leon) and the Swingarm install. I was wait for some reasonably priced ZRX rear shocks to come on Ebay (I waited a while).

Hello Guys, My name is Donnon. I've been lurking around here for a bit. I finally have enough courage to post up my "project". I am in no way a mechanic, but I'm not bad with a wrench and tools. I've learned so much here and I want to thank you all. My bike is a 1980 KZ750, which was in pretty decent shape. I know some may be upset because I plan on changing the bike so much. Anyway, my plan is to use a ZRX 1100 swing arm, and a GSXR 1000 front end. I want to thank Leon for the awesome job he did with the Triple Tree conversion. I will be out sourcing more work to him. I only wished we lived closer. I will try to keep a photo log as I go. I've been working on this bike for about a year, and the reason it I work overseas most of the time so I do what I can when I'm home. Once again I want to thank everyone.

I copied this from a post from Jeff Saunders (owner of Z1 enterprises)

Motorcycle Wobble Causes

There's a LONG list of potential area that can cause this.

These are not in any particular order

Wheel bearings

Steering bearings - repack grease, check tightness

Swing arm bushings/sleeves/bearings - replace if worn, repack grease

Fork springs aging - check spring length

Unequal fork oil - if seals leak, then your damping can be ineffective

Rear shocks aging, damper leaks - if you have oil leaking from the seals, the damping is toast.

Worn Tires/Mismatched tires/tire pressures/wrong size tires.

Wheel alignment - don't trust the chain adjusters - I visually align the wheels.

Bent rims/broken spokes - get the wheels off the ground and spin them - check for runout / damage

Front disc warped - check for runout

Steering & swing arm bearings are very common problems, but so are tire issues (pressure/mismatch) and wheel alignment.

Not having a front fender, as it helps stiffen up the forks. I’d suggest a fork brace.
