GS1100G '83 Tripple Clamp vs GS1100GL tripple clampl

[oohsam]

G'day.
My bike is missing a top tripple clamp. Im having a buggery of a time finding one in Australia, but there is a ton in america.
I've found a few that are for the American "cruiser" versions...not sure if it will fit.

I cant find any info abou the fork size/dimensions/pitch etc for the GL and if it was the same as the G that was released in Aus.
I'm assuming that it will be the same, but assumptions have gotten me into trouble before.

Anyone care to throw some advice down?
Cheers.

Not sure about the interchange ability of the G-GL triple clamps but the forks for both models use the same part number oil seal so the fork diameter is the same for both models. Hopefully somebody will be able to help with the rest of your questions.

The 83 G & GL have different part #s. The forks should be the same size as long as yours is not a GK model. Differences ?? Gl has more rake

Brillirant.
No mines definatley not the GK, just the G model.
I was hoping they'd be interchangeable, or it'd be near impossible finding one.
Thank you for the help.
