    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 identifying forks

I need help figuring out what forks I have. My race bike started life as a '79 gs1000s. Forks and swingarm have been changed to a gs1100 style, but I cant remember what the forks are off of. They have spring preload adjusters, And a 4 position dampner knob on the bottom of the leg. Fork legs are black, anti dive is silver. May be off of a 82 Kat as I cannibilized one of those too. Any help is appreciated.
 
You are not giving us much data but if the fork tubes are 37 mm in diameter and the wheel axle is in line with the fork tubes, I would venture it' a GSX 1100 EE/EFE/EFFor EFG fork.
In the US it's a GS 1100 with the 1135 engine.
The calipers that go with this fork have two opposed pistons if that helps:cool:
 
John, Sorry about the lack of info. The fork tube diameter is the same as a gs1000, the axel is under the fork leg. it is air assisted also. Also where is a good outlet for OEM parts. I would like to put in new bushings, seals ect when they are cleaned out. Which service manual is better, Haynes or Clymer? Thanks
