    Interchangeable Fork tubes for a 1982 GS550M

    What are the interchangable forks can be used to change on a 1982 GS550M. Someone has told me I can get a set off a 1982 GS 750 E. Is this correct?

    Here are pictures.

    forks

    you can cross reference parts # on some years from dealer but more importantly watch out for any rust pitting within the first 3-7 inches above the fork seal dust covers.

      Colin, It looks like the p/ns are different, but that may or may not mean something. Could be the same thing only, detailed measurement will tell you for sure. Good luck. Ray

        This guy on ebay isnt going to give detalied measurements.

        What do I need? Outer Diameter, Length, Calliper Location?

        Anyone know what bikes were interchangeable with the 1982 GS550M. Nobody here in Toronto canada seems to know. (Dealers)

            Looks like answers are not falling as quick as the cocoas,have you tried getting on the phone with multiple salvage yards whether in your area or not? Some of those guys also build from scraps and they might know.Last resort if you must have is take em off and bring em.
