82 GS Suzuki GL fork and triple tree swap

[Wormy24]

I have an 82 GS 650 GL that I am building a bobber out of and wondering if someone could tell me of donor bikes that I could swap the triple trees and still use my forks. I am wanting to use a regular triple tree without gauges and ignition

So what you are looking for is a bolt on replacement for your top triple clamp that does not have mounts for the ingnition or gauges?
