The 600 arm is definitely beefy. Looks like it might be a better fit. The only thing is you will have to weld on shock mounts if going with dual shocks. Looks good though.

Nah, just bend it out of the way

Pretty cool look at the two swingarms in the frame, how much of a pain is it to fab up a shock mount for the mono shock?

You can buy PMC shock mounts that can be welded onto the GSXR swingarm. Jeff at Z1 sells them.

The GSXR swingarm pivot bolt is probably 20 mm in diameter compared the 16 mm for the GS1100 swingarm. A spacer can be made to accommodate fitment of the GSXR swingarm however.
