If anyone can help??

Thanks in advance
 
Where did you get the info for the GSX1100EF fork tube length?

My info shows that the GSX1100EF (GS1100EF, if you prefer) had 37mm x 596mm fork tube length.
 
You gotta love Brembo calipers on a cast iron rotor!:dancing:

It could also be a set of forks from a 550ES. And probably several other models.
 
Thanks alls!

Quite hard to have info because of the different model between EU and US

Have you a picture of a GSX1100EF tubes?
 
You are right. There are two different part nos. for the GSX1100EF

51110-00A00 (596mm)

51110-00A30 (645mm)

As it happens, I DO have a photo of a GS1100EF fork tube! :)

I bought the 51110-00A00 (596mm) tube but the shape is not the same as the 51110-00A30 (645mm)
:confused:
