    GS1000e frontfork springs length

    Hi This question has been asked before but I can't answer it anymore. Have a GS1000E from 1980 and have measured the springs due to leaking seals. These are 350mm long. The manual says they should be 416mm long. Could it be that these springs have collapsed 66mm or have multiple lengths been applied to the GS1000 models?
    Above the spring is another bush of 130mm length.

      It might be you have a GS1000S These have 350mm springs... but that's just a wild guess because I have that manual and not the actual bike. or Maybe someone swapped springs in for some reason because(for what it's worth) a 66mm "creep" on a fork spring is something I have never seen

          My GS is not a S version because there is no race fairing and the real wheel is 17inch

              Can someone tell me the length of the long spacer above the spring of the GS1000S ? The length of the spring itself (of an "S" is 350mm).
              1. GS1000 E spring length: 421 length Long spacer: 130 Total : 551mm oil/leg: 241ml
              2. GS1000 S spring length: 350 length Long spacer: ....... Total : ..... mm oil/leg: ......ml
