Katana front wheel on gs700?
I have heard that a Katana front whell will bolt onto the stock '85 GS700E forks. Is this true? Will the stock brakes work?

A Katana front wheel will bolt straight in!!! Now why do you want to put a 19" wheel on a bike with a 16" on it now??

Could he be refering to a plastic Katana GS 600 or 750.
Did those use 17's?GS\'s since 1982: 55OMZ, 550ES, 750ET, (2) 1100ET\'s, 1100S, 1150ES. Current ride is an 83 Katana. Wifes bike is an 84 GS 1150ESComment

Yes, a GSX 600 F or GSX 750 F. and yes they are 17's.Originally posted by Carter Turk View PostDee Durant '83 750es (Overly molested...) '88 gl1500 (Yep, a wing...)Comment

Much easier to swap the whole front fork assembly. It is practically a bolt-on mod, the GSX brakes are better than the stock 700/750. The stock rotors would not bolt up to the GSX wheel anyway. The fork tubes are 4mm bigger too.Originally posted by ericzx7 View PostDee Durant '83 750es (Overly molested...) '88 gl1500 (Yep, a wing...)Comment

A sticker bike is a sticker bike. NOT a Katana!!! no GS motor= NO Katana.
