    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

Need Help ID-ing Forks that came on GS 550 E

The forks/TTT in the attached picture were on the GS550 that I acquired recently. They will be going up for sale as I've put the original forks back on the bike, but I have no idea what they are and cannot get them out of the wife's garage until I do.

Any info would be helpful.


Thanks in advance,

An absolute guess but they look similar to '88/'89 GSXR 750 forks. 43mm?
The wheel is the wrong colour but the rotors look similar as well.
 
Thanks for replying, Steve. Took my calipers to the tubes and they measure 41mm. Would that change the bike/year?
 
And 8254 stamped on the inside of the forks (L & R). Can't seem to find anything on these.

A couple more pics might help.
Do you know if the wheel is a match to the forks?
Top of my head SV650 had 41mm forks for 20 years or so, CBR600F2/F3 there are probably lots of them.

I would say that the wheel is non-original, plus has a healthy dent that you can see in one of the pictures! If the forks do sell it'll be without the wheel!
