Do a search... loads of info.
Progressive or Sonic springs, new 15w oil is a good start. Replace the seals & DU rings whilst in there.

forks on a 1980 gs1000e.....
hi i have a 1980 gs1000e,,, several months ago it handled like a bucket of garbage,,,,, when i braked it bottomed ... anyway thanks to a usa member i got a new set of correct progessive springs ,,correct nos,,, i flushed out the forks and replaced the butchered old springs with my new items along with new oil in both tubes and did away with the use of air ,,,it just does not need it ..,,ah,,and a new 19" 100/90x19V bridgestone and the bike on the rear has a gsx1100 alloy swing arm new shocks and a near new bridgestone ... it now handles very well ,,, and the front feels great... regards oldgrumpy
