Gsxr parts on a gs?
A buddy of mine has a 91 gsxr 750 hes parting out. I was considering buying it for some parts for my 82 gs850 if anything is interchangeable. I know I've seen things about gsxr front ends fitting but wasnt sure what years interchanged. Would I be able to use anything from a 91 gsxr on my 82?---Eric

If you can, grab the entire front end, forks, tree, clip-ons, brakes, wheel, even the fender.
It will make the conversion easier.
I remember that year 750 having a 29.5" fork length which is desirable.
No doubt one of the smart guys will be along with info on steering stem length and bearings.2@ \'78 GS1000

You need longer forks if you ever actually want to go around corners.
And the GS850 is pretty darn good at going around corners with the stock forks anyway...1983 GS850G, Cosmos Blue.

I might be wrong but I believe the 850 and 1000 share a lot of common parts. 1000's being easier to come acrosshttp://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...ine=1440711157'78 GS1000E, Dyna-S ignition, Dyna Green Coils, K&N pods, Delkevic SS 4-1 exhaust, Dynojet Stage 3 jet kit, Russell SS Brake Lines, Progressive suspension, Compu-Fire series Regulator 55402 and Advmonster cree LED headlight conversion.
