I'm trying to swap the forks from a 1977 GS750 (straight axle) onto my 1982 GS550L (leading axle). I'm doing the twinpot upgrade as well at the same time, but haven't had any issues there. I've swapped over the triple tree, and have run into a few issues.
1) The forks did not include the axle bushings/spacers (I have them ordered). Do I need to use the 750 axle? The only time I'd see that being an issue is if the 550L axle is too short, but I don't think that's the case, due to:
2) My fender won't fit. I know the triples are offset differently, but have I run into an issue? Is this indicative of something not lining up correctly? If the L fender just won't fit on these forks, that's fine, I have a hammer.
Thanks in advance for the help.
