    Help finding '82 650G Fork Tubes

    I really need help finding new fork tubes for my bike.

    I'm currently sourcing parts to rebuild the front end of my GS650g, however I'm having difficulty sourcing new fork tubes. The current ones have pitting. I tried to use racetech's website to look up the model of tnk fork tubes for the bike, but the diameter listed says 37mm when I know for a fact that 650 gz use 35mm forks.

    Forks by frank no longer operates and I cant seem to find the TNK part number for my bike to try and find them on ebay. I've already got Sonic springs, new bushings and seals on the way as well as racetech cartridge emulators and a tarozzi fork brace. Finding the parts has gotten significantly harder over the past 4 years. Any advice on where to find new tubes would be a huge relief.

      Lol that description is funny (It shouldn't say GZ). That's for a Katana though. Different part number.

          I’d be tempted to swap the triple tees as the you have the 850G and the 1000G as well as the 1100G forks to pull from.
          G forks are longer than E ones.

          One of those three might even have the same steerer stops and gauge location.
