Also, how big of a rear wheel/tire can you go with on the GS1100 arm?
If you don't mind a little work you can squeeze a 5.5" rim with a 180mm tire in a Gs1100E arm.

I could definitely turn down and drill some aluminum (pipe or billet)... but out of curiosity, is there any aftermarket company that does this stuff?
My goal after that is a shock setup and lastly, the drive and brakes (w/ new wheel of course). Can't wait to get started!

It is taking up a lot of shelf room and i would like to move it along to someone that wants/needs it. I used a early Ninja swingarm on my bike. Roy

The goal for me was to build a collar that would sit inside the needle bearings of the GSXR swingarm and reduce down to the size the the KZ1000 pivot bolt of 16mm.
The issues:
- The material sitting on the needle bearings would have to be hardened steel, as the needle bearing will 'eat' through steel or aluminum and bind the bearing
- The 16mm bore for a distance of 8.75" is not practical, as the bore will flex and distort the hole
- Multi piece fitment is possible with hardend ends and aluminum center. This seems to be what OEMs use
Possible alternative:
- More practical approach may be to fit roller bearings at ends - replacing needle bearings - this would be 40mm OD cased (sealed) bearing with any ID 16mm or greater
- Since the exact bearing 40mm OD 16mm ID is not available... Set a collar inside the roller bearings to reduce the ID down to 16mm bolt size - This collar would not have to be hardened, since it will ride on the inside race of the sealed bearing.
Now I have to shop and figure this out.
QUESTION - I know others here have made collars for their swingarm applications... did you worry about the hardened steel over the needle bearings?
