When I was taking everything off of my frame, I accidentally ended up breaking the top screw of my front forks. Does anyone know where I can buy a new one? I have a 1981 Suzuki GS650E. This brings me to another question, how might I shorten my front forks? Is it an easy job or should I just consider buying some new front forks? Any advice I could get would be great. Thanks

Good luck with the project. I wish I could help but I've been pondering the same thing myself so I will stay tuned.

Check ebay, I've seen 2 or 3 of those caps for sale lately,
As far as shorting the forks, you can slide them up an inch or so and achieve th same thing, or find a good machinist.2018 Honda Africa Twin AS
