Looking to make the gs550lx more "street" friendly so I'm looking to swap front ends.
I understand that the Suzuki GS550LX series has a fork tube of 35mm and quite a list of forks of the same size to boot as well.
What I'm asking here is if anyone has had any experience with swapping the front set out for a much more modern "beefier" and better solution that hopefully has dual brakes as well.
I'm still new to the game but I'm hoping someone with some experience or expertise could comment on such so that I won't compromise the OEM rack and trail specs.
On a side note; Lets say I purchased a 4-1 V&H system for a 85 gs700. Since the headers don't line up; whats the chances of me getting a 550 4-1 header and being able to fit the muffler end on? SO far I haven't much luck but I am considering having someone cut and reweld the gs700 headers onto the 550.
Thanks!
