Yes if you can get the rarer ones with the correct PCD / BCD then that makes things a little easier but re-drilling the holes using the spacer as a drilling jig works great too1980 GS1000G - Sold

Whoops, I already bought them. ... so I will need a spacer now, right? Anything else? Also, I am having trouble finding decent gs750 dual brake forks. What is a realistic price and are there other model forks that will work for my '76 750?

The gs650g forks are also 35mm. The spacers for the rotors are included in the bracket kits.1980 GS1000G - Sold

Not sure what you are asking me here.... They are 35mm so should fit in your triple trees without a problem. Not 100% sure if the length is the same but as it's a 19" wheel on both I suspect that would be the case1980 GS1000G - Sold

shryke300, Be careful those are 750 forks which I know at some point were a smaller diameter than the 850/1000/1100 forks, I think 35mm vs. 37mm. However I'm not sure at what year they got the larger forks. You might want to measure what is on your bike and then ask the seller to measure those.
Also if you have an L model with the leading axle you will need a matching set of triple trees or else your rake angles will change.

Roger, ill stick with the ebay forks, then. I'm not sure what model I have. Some have told me an L, but the bike came with "regular" forks, not leading forks. That could be an issue from the previous owner, tough. :P I definitely appreciate the heads up. ill look into it more.
