slabside

[jcd]

anyone know if a gsxr1000 steering damper will fit an 87 1100 slabside

I have one on my slabby

Ah cool,  so no problem fitting it?  i think theres only approx 10mm size difference

I've got 1000 forks so just had to get a different clamp for the fork leg but otherwise should be ok

how big a job was it puting gsxr1000 forks on the slabside? 

did anything have to be machined for them to  fit

I've got the later bpf type which where a little more tricky than the earlier 1000 forks. From memory had something to do with the top steering head bearing but in general, not difficult. Need to make a steering stop also
