Looking for fork tubes for my Katana and having some troubles... I'm wondering if there are other GS models with the same or similar forks?

If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
I would guess they are a 37mm tube so you should look at models with 37mm forks. Suspect the only difference could be length but should be similar. You can probably get away with a small difference longer or very small difference shorter (run it higher in the triple).
GS1000 GS1100 GS850 all have 37mm forks. 83GS750 also has them but they are much longer (fork is 32 or 33" from top of tube to axle centre at full extension from memory).
GS1000 is about 31" fork total length I think.
I have a reasonable set for a 781000E as a spare... I can measure one up if you tell me what you're looking for in length.

Thanks. I'll have to get a measurement off my machine. If there was a model with 37mm, Axle under fork front end I'd feel ok swapping it out for now.
