GS undergoing some up-grading

[Guest]

So Saturday i bit the bullet and started with my front end swop from a K1 600 onto my 78 GS1000E as the GS speedo seized up and ate the front wheel bushes & bearings

Needless to mention my GS is my daily wheels

Geez, I would have thought the cable would snap before all that happened.

What is a K1 600?

My guess is it's a Katana 600 front end.

The Katana does not have provisions for a bolt on handlebar. It has a plate with clip on handles.
