Which progressives will fit?

[phaserburn]

Hi all,

I have a 1980 GS1000 GLT (titled that way) with a 1982 GS1100GK motor in it (hence why I've been gone a year).

Any way, the front is shot and I need a major suspension boost. Which progressive fork springs will fit in the front? I cannot find anything on thier site. I have 1980 GS1000 glt front forks on there. Any help is appreciated. I emailed progressive and they said "they are not a custom shop and cannot make springs for my model".

Any advice?

Just get the Progressive springs for the GS1000G/850G model. You'll need to go get another hunka pipe to make longer spacers for the GL forks.

Progressive's customer service sucks donkey balls.

what exactly is a Hunka pipe? Can I use some PVC tubing as a spacer? I used quarters on my GS1000E.

The regular springs are significantly shorter than the L models. ANy advice?

Please let me know. How much of a spacer will I need?

Thanks,
J

Just make the spacer stick out the top of the forks .5 to 1.5 inch. Depends on the riding weight or how stiff you want it.
So you have spare change in your E?
