Hi all, my project is as follows. I picked up an 82 GS 400 for $100 and then found out it was a 450. YAY I just picked up an extra 50cc! I ditched the front end and went with a 91 katana front end, brakes and wheel (looks bitchin) next was a speed hump "cafe style" seat and a sweet headlight with brackets to fit the 41 mm forks.
Here are my questions... to you street fighter guys, how and how much did it cost you to go from clipons to handle bars? what mounts/risers should I use? I'm using 7/8 " clubmans (I DON'T WANT TO HEAR OPINIONS ON THE CLUBMANS LOL)
next, I'm getting rid of the rear wheel to match up to the front. I'm looking for a suzuki style 3 spoke mag like off a katana. I'm hoping I can find as 3.5 inch by 17 rear and MAYBE squeeze it into the swing arm, otherwise I've got a GS 1100 swing arm that's a bit long but should fit. Anyone here every swapped swingarms? what am I getting myself into? The good news is that my brother works at a bike shop and is good with the "I need tools..help!" kinda moments.
Any advice would be appreciated, any parts you know of in Canada would be great too. Pics to follow once the parts come in.
Cheers,
Steve
