I'm very torn on whether to do it. I have a 1981 GS1000G. I do like the period look. I may just get better springs and see how much it helps. I already have progressive shocks on the rear.

Found mine on Ebay it was almost complete, I then found a Bandit wheel to match my rear and installed the front GSXR rotors, the only thing needed after that is the brake lines which I had planned on replacing anyway.

Front Ends?
You can find a '94-'95 GSXR 750 front end with wheel, brakes, calipers, axle, speedo drive and spacer in my garage for sale too. I like the 750's as the Showas are better performing than the Kayabas. The valving is more advanced. As to they being shorter, does it really matter that much? Maybe you really loose only an inch to 1.5" in the front but you can have them extended with modified damper rods. Now the newer GSXR stuff is really short. Only like 28". Be wary.
But the older ones are not that hard to find. Buy mine.

81GS750
I found the setup on my GS750 on Craigslist. I drove to Houston to pick it up. $450 for the front end with 6 pot calipers and stainless lines, (everything included except the fender), rear wheel, axle, brakes, lines. Got lucky and the forks were setup with racetech goodies for a 220lb rider. The second set of forks I bought from a fellow GSR member. Keep your eyes on Ebay and CL.
Like Katman said, I lost about 3" in ride height in the front, and I pushed the forks down in the trees as far as I safely could. Looks sooooo sweet thoughLast edited by Guest; 12-21-2010, 11:20 AM.
