    Fork diameters (?)

    Okay, I've been searching without results

    How do I find out what diameter various forks are?

    I'm trying to do a more modern fork on my 1979 GS 1000, I can find Katana (1994) forks to go with my 1992 Katana wheels. I want to combine with 1997 Bandit triple clamps.

    1981 GS 850 (anyone want a project?)
    1981 GPZ 550 (backroad screamer)

    check OSS; there is a table

    Thee is more to it than fork diameter, the seperation will also matter. Not sure that mix will ever work. As a general rule it will not

      Yeah, I know the triple clamp stem has to be the same length to bolt up

            Hey Pos, what is OSS? I'd like to look at that info as well.

              IMO..It would be much easier to replace the entire front end than trying to marry parts together. GSXR 750's and 1100's from 93 - 95 are best suited if you can find one.

                  This may be a little closer

                  1.) go to link

                  2.) click on PP pages

                  3.)look down the center under technical reference.

                  lotsa stuff
