1983 Katana Suspension on a 1976 KZ900? was created by Sactown900
I know someone who might sell (or give) me his stock 1983 Suzuki 1150 suspension.
He said this will give me LOTS of tire and wheel options on my stock 76. Will I have to do allot of modification to the backend of the frame on my bike?
He put a 2003(?) GSXR1000 suspension on his Katana.

1980 thru 83's 1100's (twin shock) :huh: ..... :lol: 1150's started in 84 and they are all monoshock....... GS 1100's arm is almost an inch and a half longer than a KZ stock swingarm ( the real advantage ) .plus the gs 1100 swing arm is aluminum...... you can use the suzuki wheels,brakes, wheel spacers,shock,axle .
just a couple of shims for the pivot bolt...... when you start wanting a wider than a wm8 rim....things get tight.... :dry:
