Can anyone tell me if I can put the front end off my 1988 GSXR 750 on my 79 GS850. I am looking for to get the smaller tire on the front of my GS plus mount the fairing.

Hi,
I've never done this before but, ...hmmm, well the '88 GSX750 has 41mm diameter forks and the 850 has 37mm diameter forks, so you can't just swap the forks. But I don't know if the steering stem from the '88 GSX will fit the 850.
Checking the parts fiche for both bikes at http://www.alpha-sports.com/ ....
Let's see, the lower bearing on the '88 GSX750 is 30x55x17 and the upper bearing is 25x47x15.
The lower bearing on the '79 GS850G is 30x55x17 and the upper bearing is 25x47x15.
It looks like the part numbers for the steering stem bearings are a match too.
Upper = 09265-25019
Lower = 09265-30009
So I would hazard a guess and say, yes. Swap away.
Thank you for your indulgence,

I have no Technical information to add and it is hard to top Basscliff, but I sure would love to see the result of this swap..... It has tweeked my curiosity.
