GSX1100G Build

Post by swirl »

Bought a GSX1100G a while ago to trike, a mate of mine was perusing facebook and spotted a q plated trike frame with all the back end sorted with handbrake etc so a cunning plan was hatched, I got up this morning at 4am and drove down to Stroud, was there about 7,15, loaded up on the road back up to Ellesmere Port for 10.30 good going, II started stripping the G and took some vital measurements, guess what the G motor wont go in the frame, some decisions to be made before the grinder comes out, pics to follow

What stops the G1100 going in? Is it that smaller tube below the top tube?

I wish mate, its to tall, to long and to wide, where the prop runs it goes straight through the swingarm pivot, sold it anyway, I've got a hardtail frame I'm going to use for the 1100g
