GS1100GK Fork Substitutions

[sv650]

Has anyone gathered info on substitutions for forks for the GS1100GK, or a supplier of replacement parts?

I need to replace bent upper (inner) fork tubes, post Bambi, and am having little success in my web searches.

It seems that there are few if any fork tubes available for this bike. If none are available, and no substitutions can be be found, then the reconstruction project ends, and I'll have to part out the bike

Hints and suggestions welcome.

the 'Gk forks are unique to the 'GK. they are bigger than other GS's. You can, however, interchange the triple tree assy from another bike and use the forks with them.

A complete (tubes & tree)front end from a standard (not L model)GS850/GS1000/GS1100 will fit

Thanks, Tim & Lynn.

So much for the bike being in original & unrestored condition, I guess.
