    I wasn't thinking about gap to get it in - that should be sufficient, it was locking it to the fork to prevent it spinning, as original forks have a stop lug cast in for this purpose!

    what I wrote had nothing to do what you wrote ??????  I was just saying what I thought. but looking back at your post you did say " you probably won't have space / fixing for the speedo"  :/

    you might be able to retain a cable drive

    yeah, what I found was the hub width is narrower on the older wheels than the newer 17" wheels. so I had plenty of room for a speedo drive.  Ive also had a speedo drive thinned out a few mm as well to get it in the gap. 

  3. ive done it but it wasn't on a Suzuki.  to me it just didn't look right so I ended up changing the wheel. but it might look ok on your GS ???  the thing to do is fit the forks and throw the wheel on and step back and have a look. if you like it then it doesn't matter a fuck what others think :tu

    don't know about that ????  it was more about being skint and not having the dosh for a new exhaust system :(  I just happened to have the end of an old can that fitted over the motad with a bit of cutting and riveting. :D

  5. what ive done on bandit forks a few times is use a spacer under the damper rod (with a longer allen bolt) which will extend the overall length, but if you have an adjusting rod from the top cap running through the legs I don't think it'll work.
