    Fork and Stem rebuild 81 750L - what pats to order?

    The headset hangs up in center position so guessing I need the race, possible the bearings. Which numbers are those? What else?

    The forks need an overhaul. I already have the OEM seal #7 on the diagram.







    1981 GS750L - Owned since 1990 when graduated high school and since have been discovering all the things not disclosed by seller.
    1983 GS750E - bought in 2016 as a rough runner to use while rebuilding 81L and then to combine with ES to make one good one
    1983 GS750ES - bought in Toronto in 2015 on a lark as a non-runner, missing front cowling and exhaust - If you have a 1983 750ES front cowling let me know! Blue would be nice

    Just get a set of all balls bearings; they have come with new races for mine.

      Agree with All Balls. Decent quality and the kit comes with seals so it includes everything you need. Regarding the fork, if your bike has more than say 40k miles you may as well install new slide bushings, 22 & 5 on the diagram. Part 11 is a copper sealing washer and worth getting too.

        Andy, it's worth checking with Moto Authority here for parts. They get fast deliveries and are helpful friendly folks. Prices are comparable to what you'd find online and we can support a local business.
