Jay.
I doubt it will bolt straight on, but in saying that nothing is impossible. I am sure if someone was keen enough and had the fabrication skills they could make some modifications that would enable it to fit. Or if their pockets were deep enough they could find someone capable of doing the work and pay them to do it. In addition to the problem of making it fit to the pivot and the suspension linkage there will be other issues to consider such as chain alignment and the mounting of the brake caliper.

Hmm , didnt think of that , ill just do a 4.5 inch wheel swop

Just put the kat wheel on  :laugh: You dont need the swingarm. Put the gs cush drive in and sprocket....bend the brake arm to clear the tire...thats it. Ken,sri, wanna back me up on this?

Jay we discussed this wit Jim in another post.You can use the B6 rear wheel,with GS bearings.To get full brake pad contact you have to use B6 bracket and caliper.OR,you can find a B12 swing arm,with brakes,5.5 wheel,axle,and adjusters.Jim can supply you with the need parts to complete the install.I am doing the 88 GSXR 750 S/A with the B6 wheel.Trying to finger out the brakes still.Also,dgyver and I have thought about modifying a frame to accept the newer GSXR750 S/A and 5.5 wheel.I'll be glad when he gets a chance to take some measurements.Here's the links.

The bandit shock will work.Some of the bandit shocks will lower the bike a little,and be soft for a heavy rider like me.Can't remember if it was wiki or pablo's site that tells about this.
