SUZUKI GSX 1100 ET 1980 WITH GSXR UPGRADES

[@abandoneduniverses]

Beautifully done.I had the same back at late 90s and upgraded it just to improve it a bit cause i was young and poor to give it some more live abroad...Well now we live in another climate ,the cause is other..by the way i have to mention that holds well and the frame didthn suffers from bigger stiffer fork due to front section reinforcement...power drift was at its best also...regret for selling this beauty nostalgia brought me here❤

Flatter bars for me, but perfect upgrade, looks great 👍👍😁

I’d like to see a GSXR motor in one of these bikes some day, but otherwise this is an awesome restoration here brother. Hope she continues to be a blast to ride! 😁👍🏻

Beautiful example. The EX tank always looks better than the ET which looked thin in comparisonl...

Beautiful bike, mister! Do you have a build list, or a forum posting about the retrofit? Id love to squeeze a GSXR rear wheel in my 1100 swinger as well.

[@tomerikolsen8472]

the swingarm is Stock, converted to 530 Chain and a 3/8 offset front sprocket. i used the gsxr calliper and hanger. Som adjustments to get Wheel in the right possisjon , not thotshing the Chain or swing. The trippel tre from gsxr 91 is bolt on . Take a look at www.Suzuki-katana.com for tips .

It is a 4.5 inch «rebuilt» to 6 inch

[@tomerikolsen8472]

Mika Tamminen i adjusted the wheel in the center of the swingarm whit washers. I had the wheel inside roling with a 190 tire, but it did not work with the chain. It is not space for the chain gard. The bike goes in a staight line without holding the handelbars, and works fine in cornering.

[@garyward3863]

Nice looking mods , also always looks it's best with original paintwork 👍

[@omegaman7241]

did you have to modify the forks for wheel to fit and brakes?

[@tomerikolsen8472]

The front fork is complete gsxr 1100 from 91include the trippel tree. Bolt on same bearings, som modefying for the headlight and indicators.

@@tomerikolsen8472 thanks for the info. I have a 1980 GS 750 L, if you think this would work with my bike or any suggestions would be helpful. I would like to have better brakes too!

[@mughug9616]

Very nice.

[@quinntyler2487]

Where did you find those swing arms?

[@tomerikolsen8472]

The swing arm is stock! I bought it new from a dealer in norwey.
