Yes it is the Grandpappy. To get a wider tire under it, as the stock tires are tiny. It is fairly common on those bikes to put a full front and rear suspension from a GSXR on it so that you can actually slow that thing down. While they were fairly agile bikes in their day they are a pig by today's standards. A suspension swap will make it handle like a new bike. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Allen, Pardon me - but why would you need or want to swap the swing arm? It looks perfectly good where it is :-) Am I correct in assuming that this bike is the grandfather (great grandfather?) of the modern GSXRs? Certainly goes like it! -Joey On Sat, Mar 26, 2011 at 7:09 PM, Allen Thomas <[email protected]> wrote: > OOOOHHH that or a 79 are the best years since they have chain drives.
