GS 1000 fork repair

[Anonymous]

I have a set of gs 1000 fork tubes on a front end that are damaged, and, I would like to save them. The problem is that the air valve on top of the tubes are gone. They look like they were bashed off!! Just the filler " nipple" not the hole fork top. I would like to save these tubes for spares. Can I eliminate the air suspension part of the system and use them like a conventional set of tubes?? what would need to be done ( how much more fork oil etc.)?? Or, can I get new air nipples?? Help me save these PLEASE!! Other than the broke off nipple's, they are in great shape. Thanks.

P.s. are these 35mm or 39mm tobes??

If you install progressive brand springs they reccommend no air presure.
your forks are 37 mm

The fork tops and air valves are still available. Buy new parts!
If the valve is broke off flush, use an easy-out to remove it and just fit the new valve.
