Ok...no one seems to know what swingarm will swap on an 1100 kat, so I took some pics with measurements. If any of you have a swingarm you can compare it to, it would be greatly appreciated.

To clarify, you are looking for a stronger longer swing arm to handle the higher output of the new engine right?
I need something that can handle 200hp...maybe more when I am done.I don't have a short temper. I just have a quick reaction to bullshit.

Mojoe, I know several people riding a 1100, one of them has been looking around for another swingarm, because he didn't like the 16" high and narrow rim.
He told me there are no direct swaps available, without major frame-modification and a complete donor-rearend.
Modify the rear-frame and you"ll be able to fit almost any swingarm you want. (as a matter of fact you can even have an extended axle made for the frontsprocket to compensate offset)
Btw if you're gonna have 200+ hp look for a donor-rearend coming from a Busa or ZX12R.

Originally posted by WaltariSome of the early gsxr1100 (oil cooled) ran 4.5" rear rims with the slanted spokes (they match the pre98 rims in style)
Don't want to hijack the thread, but does anybody know which other rims you can fit on a Kat without too much mods - I mean of the Suzuki rims with similar sizes as the Kat - Bandit 600, SV 650 and the like... I'm looking for newer rims but 98+ Kat are not so common here, although B6 rims are on eBay here all the time. I also noticed that the B12 front rims are 3.5x17... What about rotor alignment, speedo pickup etc?
