What is the easiest front end swap for a GT-750?

[none_of_my_bikes_run]

Hi. I am new here so I will state my background for context to my question:

Been riding dirtbikes my whole life (no official racing, purely recreational. Intermediate level). Started riding street a few years ago.
Have done two complete tear down & rebuilds. One being 92 RM125 an the second being 76 yam DT400 which was the more extensive one.
I have no welding background, but have the ability to pay a friend of a friend (welder by trade) for small weld jobs.


ANYWAY to my question-

I picked up a rough GT750 project. 72 frame with a 74+ motor.
Looking to do a front end swap as this seems to be a common upgrade on these bikes.

I hear people swap GS 750 or 850 front ends to these.. Is it as simple as a bearings kit? or is there welding/fabbing involved? I am looking as close to a bolt-on swap as I can get, still being too green for custom fabbing at the moment. But, as I mentioned, I can get a friend to weld if y'all think it is 100% worth it to get x y or z front end on this frame.

Any input is appreciated. thanks

Hi there
I’ve managed to fit a hayabusa front end in to my 550 frame with just new bearings
Allballs do a conversion chart for the bearings

Thanks Hawky. I have seen people use busa front ends as well, but had assumed that required fabrication. Good to know.

Did you also upgrade the swingarm & rear wheel to match the modern front?

I’m currently putting an sv650 swingarm and monoshock on so that will require more fabrication
