Has anybody fitted a GSXR monoshock swingarm? I'm looking at several on ebay that are pretty cheap and in great condition. I'm also thinking of GSXR inverted forks. Anybody had luck installing them?

Sporty........No! Laughing Just kidding Laughing Go back to the "Garage" and speak to PJ. I've installed a FZ aluminum arm mono set up but either one will reqiure some serious grinding on the pivot point boses and arms and must be some what precise workmanship to get the arm centralized to track straight with the front wheel. The forks I used where 86 GSXR conventional 41 mms,used the xs bearings but had to cut and sleeve the stem in order to fit but with the later models using a larger bearing may require a new custom steering head,can't say for sure,speak to PJ,he deals with suzukis alot................Jack
