adjustable preload caps for gs1000

[Darkspeed]

Sure. For the cost of shipping I will see if they fit and if the o rings are replaceable. Pretty much set on the katana ones but if there is a cheaper and more easily available alternative i will let you guys know. Address pmed.

Finally warmed up a little and starting to do some work on the bikes. Thankyou to big rich who sent me some gs500 ones. They are the 35mm eBay type I was originally considering. They do not fit for the gs1000 forks and are not able to be machined to do so, but I know a guy who is building a gs500 for his girlfriend so I will pass them along.

i have a set of fork springs and emulators for my '82 katana. Race tech sent me instructions covering quite a bit of information on different types of forks. The diagram shows the spacer on top of the damper rod and then the emulator. correct? (stock spring length -race tech spring length-emulator=spacer length) Can i work from there to set preload? I changed the bearing in the triple tree so both shocks are off.

It says to drill two more holes to make four. The damper rod already has four. Drill these four holes to 1/4"?


For the anti-dive it says drill below to eliminate the anti-dive. If i already have four holes and the anti-dive is working what should i do to eliminate?

To set preload do you have to fish the spacer out of the completely assembled front end.

Darkspeed if you want to fine tune your bike for racing the gold emulators seem like the way to go.

Sorry mine is a 78 gs1000. Install will be different on your kat. And your preload adjusters make spacer length less critical.
