    Need info on 1985 GS700E front fork spings

    Looking for the fork specs, tube size, etc as well as the stock fork spring rate. Wanting to add Race Tech springs and possibly change to the Gold Emulator if they have it available.

    Tube size is 37mm, Race-Tech doesn't have a listing for them (although they do have the correct size for other bikes with 37mm tubes) but Sonic Springs does.



    Don't know the stock spring rate, but it will be way too soft. True of everything from that era.
    I would try doing just springs and fork oil (10W) before messing with emulators, I think you'll find that's all you need.

      So call RaceTech. They know their product best.
