Title: Hello all
Post by: Denver on Saturday, 01 January 2022, 05:42 PM
Hey there, new member here from Canada. Love those GSX1400s, unfortunately we never got them here.

Probably don't have much useful content to add, I'm building up a retro endurance styled GSXR, has an "Blandit" motor in a watercooled 750 frame, working on an EFI conversion at the moment. Thinking I'll be building a chunky subframe and twin shocking it. Not everyone's cup of piss but the way I picture it, should be pretty cute. I joined up because I'm searching far and wide for one of those big fat GSX1400 swingarms and a couple suitable shocks.

I've been told it's rude to sign up for a forum and use your first post to try to nab all the sweet parts.  :whistling:

Happy new year!  :smoke:

Welcome to the forum Denver.  :onya:  good luck with your search.  You could always buy one and import it to Canada as one of your countrymen did.  :whistling:

Hi Denver & welcome to the forum.  Yeah, gonna be a bit awkward getting a swingarm with you in Canada & most of the parts in Europe.  I'd be trying wreckers / Breakers to locate a swingarm myself, as most of us have complete bikes & use them.

Hi Denver,
Where in Canada - I'm in Vancouver - imported my '03 a while back - had two of them in the UK sold one and kept the other!
Cheers!
