I have purchased the gs 1100 swingarm and would like to go with around a 170, 17" tire is there a rear end that is preferably the easiest to go with eg, gs or zx and what should I need besides tire and rim for complete assembly.
Any tips would be great.

Does this tire/spacer change affect the angle of your chain? were any adjustments made with in this area?
Yeah, an offset front sprocket is needed. Sometimes you can get away with a 3/8" offset or other times you'll need either a 1/2" or 5/8" offset front sprocket.
If you use a 160 or 170 you can go with a 4.5" rim in which case just about any Katana 600/750 can donate. I have a 160 tire on the back of my 1000 and it looks like it's proportional.
