Hi all is it possible to change the fork tubes without dismantling the whole forks? Thanks

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.

NO..Not going to happen..if you figure out a way, let us know.
If you want to change the FORKS themselves, sure not a problem.
But if you want to replace JUST the upper or lower legs, no.

Hi guys no it's just the upper legs. Guess I was just hoping for a shortcut, there goes my weekend then. Thanks again

Changing fork tubes shouldn't take too terribly long. Certainly not an entire weekend. Maybe a whole day if you've never taken apart a fork leg before.

Stripped forks down ok and I had hoped to swap the upper tubes from a GS1000E to a set of GS1000L forks that I had on bike. Didn't realise there was such a difference in them. Now having to put the GS1000E forks on the bike but waiting for new seals. Oh well you live and learn I guess.

We still don't know what you have. Go to User CP and update your signature, please include the year of your bike(s).
If you have an L model, the forks are not the same and an E model, even if the years are the same.

Are you still using the L trees??
There is a big difference in offset between the two..
Running E legs in L trees will add about 1" to your trail.
Hey it'll be more stable at high seeds
top is L bottom is E

Hi no I'm using the E model trees so shouldn't be an issue in changing over the complete forks, shame though as I really liked the leading link L model ones
