    GXR forks and shocks ?

    Anyone know if the rear shock and forks could be used on a 1983 GS750E ?

    OMG! Buy it NOW! $300 for both rims, 2 sets of USD forks, and half of an engine is a deal.

    I think Posplayr used first gen GSXR parts on his bike. These should fit great!

    EDIT: And it comes with 40mm and 36mm carbs!!!!

        Yes. Most of those parts will fit, mine has '89 1100 wheels on it with rf900 forks because i prefer the looks of a conventional style fork. I'm rebuilding a '89 gsxr750 motor for my '83.

          I didn't realize those wheels would just bolt on. I gather from Chainsaws enthusiasm that USD are good forks ? Don't know what I'd do with the rest of the stuff though. Anyway I have emailed him for more pics.

            I'd say it's more of a personal preference. USD forks are usually shorter than RSU forks. I don't know if this would be a fair comparison but I've ridden an SV650 with RSU forks and a GSXR with USD forks. Felt mostly the same.

            But don't take my word for it. I know nothing .

                Well, I'll jump in here...
                I wouldn't want to start any sort of bidding war over that listing. Also, since I'm only interested in the forks and would end up re-selling most of the other bits..

                How much would you want for one of those sets of usd forks???
                I'm looking for forks to get away from the air fork on my son's '85 gs700e.
                PM me please if you are willing to discuss it.

                  Here are the pics he sent me. He says I have first dibs as I was the first to call.

                    Is he asking $300 for everything? If so, get it. You can stuff that GSXR engine in your GS750 frame. You can use those rims and tires. You can use the forks although you'd have to round up the missing parts (triple tree, brake calipers, axle, etc.). There's also a lot of carbs there. I would think that the rear shock will also work and be a nice upgrade. Then you can sell off what you don't need

                    EDIT: By the way, I may be interested in the 36mm carbs if you don't want them.

                      From the looks of that shock it would fit an '83 750, if it's too short you could add some length to the piece that is between the swingarm and the bellcrank that bolts to the top of the shock. Oh, and i'd be interested in one of the sets of 40mm carbs...

                        Unfortunately I didn't return his call quickly enough. Oh well !!

                          I would be interested in the rear shock and master cylinder.

                            Looks like a good deal to me, and whatever you don't use someone will buy it
