i had gsx400 32mm they looked ok but had give at the wheel with the rake ive igot, so i upgraded to gsx1100g front end 43mm forks big 4pot brakes 18"wheel, took the same head bearings as the 400 but the steering stem on the new front end was 20mm longer so i had to modify it, but they look the part very happy with them,    just make sure you check the bearings on any new forks that they'll fit your head stock, i went to the local bike shop and asked if i could look in the bearing book and wrote all that took my same bearings. head stock can be made to fit length wise, hope this helps

Early 80's CBX 750 forks are considerably chunkier and will be a direct replacement for what you have Morrag
