    GS850 front tube mod

    Does anyone know of a good write up on shortening the front forks??? I feel I've seen one on here and can't find it.

    I'm mainly looking for something with a parts description before I open these up.

    Cheers!

    Go to your local dealership or some place like Boulevard Suzuki (www.boulevardsuzuki.com) and look up the parts fiche for your bike. I'd help but I don't know what year you are referring to (hint hint put your bike info in your signature block hint hint)

            Very true, but they do have a nice interface and a reverse-search, "what else does this part fit?" feature.
