I think the stiffest RaceTech has for the GK 41's is1.1kg/mm also. The GK is not in their drop down menus, but if you email, they will tell you which gold valve emulators and springs fit the GK.Last edited by Chuck78; 12-26-2017, 04:18 PM.'77 GS750 920cc heavily modded

The Bandit 1200 springs (or similar) are probably the ones you need.. Rich will hook you up.
89/97 (maybe newer idk) kat 600 run 41mm tubes the same length as standard gs1100g forks. Not sure the length on the gk forks.

Hey all.
It as been a while but I am back at it.
Tomorrow I will install the springs.
But I can't find which way they go. I had read a post long-while-ago about that and can't find it again.
Darn, I just realized I need to go out and get oil.Last edited by Highway_Glider; 01-18-2018, 11:01 PM.

I had at the time.
The tread seems to be gone. There are pictures on Photobucket but they are now useless.
I will load some up and be right back.

At the time I told the story of the build. Now it's just memory. I have a hard time thinking that I built that.
From my photo album I built it in January 2015. No plans I just knew what I wanted. And improvised as I went.
The piston came from an engine crane.
Here are a few build pictures. A medieval type construct.
At the time I called it the Lumber-Jack.
Now it sports rounded corners, a vise on one corner, a power bar and many oil stains.
The pictures don't quite show how it stays up but it can't come down. It's solid.
