1980 gs450l forks
I just bought a set of forks off of ebay that were listed as from a 1981 gs450t. They look identical to my gs450l forks but are labeled as showa 4430. My forks are 4421. Will this be a problem?

As long as the upper tube diameters are exactly the same as your originals so they fit in the triple trees perfectly, I don't see why there would be a problem. You say they look identical so I assume the brake will fit without issue. I do recommend spending the $75 or so for Progressive fork springs and while you're getting dirty, new fork seals and oil of course will give you a very noticeable improvement, especially if all three jobs are done at the same time.
I can't explain why the numbers are different. Could have something to do with the spring rates.
