    Replacement fork caps WITHOUT schrader valves

    Folks,

    I'm converting the front forks in my 1978 GS1000E to RaceTech Springs with preload spacers - is there a fork cap from another model of Suzuki that DOESN'T have an air valve in it. I want to clean up the look of the forks and a set of regular caps would be nice.

    any caps from a GS with 37mm forks will fit. 1100 Katana caps have a built in preload adjuster as well, maybe use instead of (or as well as) the spacers
    1978 GS1085.

    Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

      Yes, i thought so too....The caps on our racebike - GS1000E as far as i know - have a different thread to those on a spare set I have here which are late GS1000G. Pity as i'd have like to run the G caps as they have preload adjusters. Both are of course 37mm dia stanchions.
      Not as simple as it looks....
