    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.

    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.

      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'.

        They are the same.
