I have a 1981 GS450 that i got sorta cafe style and will be converting it to scrambler. I have the rear kinda figured out. the front is another story.
i want to keep the factory star wheels on the bike as i like the look. (might try to get an 18" front) would it do me any good to swap the front forks to GS850? I know they are larger diameter, and i can get them reasonably cheap. Or should i try to get katana or GSXR 600 forks? the bike is light, and i am not. 6'5" ~285lbs. would like some travel and some strength out of the front end. will be riding dirtroad and easy trails, and some road use as well, but not long distances. i have bigger bikes for that.
