front forks
Question, I have a 1980 GS750E (TSCC) that may have a bent lower fork mount, and found a 1981 GS750L front end, I was wondering if there is a differance if I swap the whole front end top to bottom, I know that the E has a shorter over all spring length than a 79' L, my clymer only shows specs. for 1979 and TSCC models.Tags: None

No difference, I installed a complete 81 750L front end on my 80 750E after an accident totaled my front end. Triple trees and axle the whole works. Matter of fact I still have that front end because I installed a 80 1100E front end on my bike. Direct bolt on, just make sure you use the 1100E headlite mounting ears. Just a suggestion, find a 1100E front end. Bigger forks and better tuneability.Originally posted by jbird7262 View PostQuestion, I have a 1980 GS750E (TSCC) that may have a bent lower fork mount, and found a 1981 GS750L front end, I was wondering if there is a differance if I swap the whole front end top to bottom, I know that the E has a shorter over all spring length than a 79' L, my clymer only shows specs. for 1979 and TSCC models.sigpicMrBill Been a GSR member on and off since April 2002

Stuff I've done to my bike:dancing: 1100E front end with new Sonic springs, 1100E swing arm conversion with new Progressive shocks installed, 530 sprockets/chain conversion, new SS brake lines, new brake pads. New SS fasteners through out. Rebuilt carbs, new EBC clutch springs and horn installed. New paint. Motor runs strong.

Thanks, for the price I can get it for, and since I have all the bearings and seals for the 750 I'll just do the swap, my bikes just a bar hopper/stress reliever. Do you think the races and stem bearings are a match? I have all new sets for the 80'.
