swingarm,monoshock, what ever fits....

alexfisher7
 Looking to do a monoshock conversion on my 1980 dohc, has anyone done it here?
would someone know what can be used as I am not really up to pay a custom made for 500£. Think a gsxr might fit but would love to know before getting one.
Any advices welcome.

The only thing I know about Gixer swingarms is that they come on Suzuki motorcycles.

What year and model GSXR are you looking at? You can search for stuff like this over at customfighters.com. There's not hardly a bike there with factory suspension still intact.

If you can't find what you're looking for holler at me and I'll ask some guys. I kow I can get someone to measure a bike for me if I ask.
