    GS750E - 1981 - new front?

    Hi.

    I want to change the front of my bike, but is there any fronts that fit right in? No big modifications and such...

    You want to swap forks? Are you looking at USD forks? Give us a little more information as to what you are looking for specifically and we can definitely help you

      Everything from the tank and forward. I have seen on some photos that GSXR forks, tyre and brakes has been used. I also want to have a bigger rear tyre

      BTW, I doing this because I want to see if I can maybe build a cafe/fighter, but I have limited resources.

      USD forks??

        Upside down forks, (inverted) like on the modern day super sport bikes.

          Almost any Suzuki front end matches up to the steering stem, the problem is the length of the fork tube. Many USD forks are up to 2" shorter than stock

          I put a 1990s Katana front end on my 78, just a bit of cutting on the steering stops

          On the rear wheel, a 1100 swingarm allows wider wheels

          Wheels, spacers, new tires, a front end - you expect thiis to be cheap??

              Not much to see really. Winter is here, so I cant take the bike outside for a photo. My little work space is so small, more the size of an outdoor toilet he he

              Big T: Thank you for the info. Money is not the big problem, it's my mecanical skills that can be a problem he he.
