82 GS400E front end

[gvis420]

Is it posible to rake out the forks somehow or could I put different forks on? I was wanting to rake it out put some drag bars on it then just a solo seat and then do something with the fender. Any help is great. Thanks

It's possible to rake out the front end, but your going to have to cut the frame. Longer forks will do the same thing, but if it picks the front end up too much then you may end up with an evil handling bike.

Suzuki did make a 450 "L" model, and I'm willing to bet that your engine and suspension would bolt right on. And the L does have a tear drop tank and a raked front end look to it. Have you consider that?, if not, it seems to me that most of what your trying to do would already be done.

Just stop by a salvage yard and see if you can find a frame, tank and seat.
