Need length of upper fork tubes -- GS1000E vs GS1000L
I crashed my beloved '78 skunk and bent the upper fork tubes! Of course, eBay is the first place I'm turning for replacements... but I see that the offerings are for '81 GS1000L models... the lowers are definitely wrong but I can use the originals. It's the uppers I'm curious about -- the originals are 37mm diameter, but how long are they, and can I swap in the tubes from a GS1000L (also 37mm)?
Anyone know? Thank you!Tags: None

Thank you, "hh," that's very helpful. And hopeful --easier and cheaper to get salvage "L" stanchions. Fingers crossed.

Thank you, Monk, and Marc, for your offers. I didn't check this thread before I ordered a couple off eBay, though. I appreciate that you are resources for this repair and may contact you for parts and/or advice.
Regards,
Adam
