    front forks for 1984 gs 1150 suzuki

    Off the top of my head, no.
    The 750 fork stanchions have a smaller diameter so won't fit your existing triple clamps. Plus they have thinner walls than the 1150, which will result in wobbles from too much flexing under strain. Also the front wheel on the 750 is 19" whereas the 1150 is 16" which could well result in clearance issues, and significantly slowed steering. The brakes will also be an issue (single disk only on the 750?)

    The forks from 4 Valve GS1100's pre 1150 will fit, same diameter, but also have thinner walls , resulting in more flex and more wobbles. Plus the difference in wheel size problems.

    Why are you changing it?
