Spdygon, youre right about the 180 in the swingarm .I know the GS1100 was made for a 140 but I reckon I might be able to fit a 160 into it without too much hassle.

So the search is on for a rear wheel that'll take a 17x160 tire. Im looking for something that'll match with the 3 spoke front ('95 ZX9R) . So far Ive come up with the 650 Bandit, the FZR 600R(94/95) and the ZX6R(95/96).
If anybody has any other ideas,please let me know. Im stalled until I can get this sorted.


(Something that takes a 20mm axle would be good)

Heres how it stands at the moment. Original forks ,swingarm and wheels.

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.

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.
