Title: Gs850 front forks
Post by: skates on July 11, 2013, 08:43:55 PM
I laid my greasy little mitts on a set of gs850 front forks but need a few things. The problem is I don't know what make they are. The front wheel don't bolt on under the forks. It bolts on forward of the forks plus they have a clamp half way up the forks that u can put air in. Any idea what model they are?

From the description I would guess at GS850GL (GS850L) from the early 80s.
