Forks

Post by UK_Andy »

Iv been searching for a set of 1980 -1983 GL1100 forks for ages and unfortunately missed a set on ebay just the other day.

Im after the earlier ones without the anti-dive.

In my searching Iv forund quite a few sets from Honda CB900s from the 80s.
Ive found that the spindle will fit and the diameter id the same but I cant find out if they will be too long or not

Can anyone help please?

I would definitely consider a trade. I'd like a set of the anti- dive forks and have a set of 82 forks sitting on the shelf...
