    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    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.

Hi
OK story is I have bought a set of forks and yokes from a GS1100gk, these are going onto a GS1000 I am doing up. The question is do I have a set of forks from a GS1100gk...or...a GSX1100gk. I want to purchase a fork brace and seals etc. The seller was sure it was a GS and not a GSX but I don't want to shell out on some stuff that will not fit. I took the following sizes off the forks

Tubes 41mm
Lowers 51mm at the narrow part under the seal assembly but above the mudguard mounts
Lower tops 61mm the bit under the dust cover.
Between fork centres 204mm

any help very much appreciated

RB:confused::confused:

I can take a couple of photos if that can help:o

Sorry, no stock brace.
