Oh boy.

Have you ever changed a stock swingarm on a gs750?

Have you ever rebuilt a complete stock gs750 front end?

Why do you want to install USD forks and a monoshock?

Do you know how to calculate rake and trail?

If you answer these questions we can help you easier. :-X

Converting to a monoshock is a lot of work for not much gain (if anything, it's real easy to make a bike worse). And yes - the chain line will be way out.


1st gen GSXR1100 USD front ends are a bolt on fit (I think the USD's started with the L model in 1990). Same year 750 ones also fit but the forks are shorter. Suzuki used the same steering head bearings for most of their street bikes from 1980 to 1997 or so.

Hello

Yes i have changed the original swing arm. But ive i want to change to monoshockits allot of work i no but i want to no ive the gear of wheel end motor block are a way of on standaard motor mount or a little bit otherwuse i am going to use the stock swing arm. But the front end i want to change 100% iam going to look for a new fork because i like the look end handling.

What makes you think gsxr forks will make your bike handle better? They're too short to improve anything in the handling dept.

Better damping is a maybe and better braking can be had other ways.

Do it. Just know that it will be for little to no gain over a properly set up conventional front-end.

How does the All Balls conversion site know this? It only looks at the bearings as far as I know.
