    GS 850 fork tubes

    Does anyone know where you can purchase extended fork tubes to fit a GS850. Also the diameter size of the tubes on the 850?

    They are 37mm.

    As far as extended tubes: WHYYYYYY????



    Oops, sorry, had to get that out of my system. It takes all types, I guess.


    Now then. The only source for most things related to fork tubes is a strange little outfit called Forking by Frank, or Frank's Maintenance and Engineering, Inc.:

    You have to call during business hours -- they don't do the web or email. And last I heard, they don't accept credit cards, but who knows now.

    A lot of different models used the same basic forks, so Frank's might actually be able to help you in your unholy quest.

      Thanks for helping me out on my unholy quest...lol. :-D I need the longer forks, to raise the front end up after raking the neck on my chopper project.
      Thanks.
