ROLLING GEAR - FORKS
Webmaster's
Tech Note: Yes you can add on GSX-R upside down forks to your GS,
ask one of the custom builders above BUT do note - they will be shorter
than the stock items (1 - 2") and don't forget to add on any
inches you are losing by going from 18" stock to 17" Gixxer
wheels for example... also they will be HEAVIER than stock which will
make your bike SLOWER...
