    82 gs850L upgrade forks to 87 gsxr 750 fork?

    Hello. I am going to be turning my old Gs850 L into a cafe/ brat type bike. Just wanting to upgrade the front forks for handling purposes. I have the opportunity to grab a [air of forks from a 85-88 gsxr 750. Would these be a good upgrade? I will be manufacturing a new triple clamp myself as I am a machinist so I can compensate for a slightly shorter fork without any issue to keep height the same. Also I can make any other spacer/axle mods i need to keep the stock front wheel.

    Thanks
