Hoping someone can tell me what year these fork came from.Need to find calipers and figure out the mounting to a 78 750 frame.

Some more detailed pics would be good but they don't look like GSXR forks. The early models had anti dive mounted to the lower front, so its not them and the 1989 gsxr 1100 K had the last right side up forks, I have 2 sets of them in my garage, i'll have a look tomorrow but I don't think they are them either. Do those rims have round spokes or flat.. what size are they?  One thing the 1100K forks do have is a screwdriver operated damping control on the lower part of the legs, they also have preload control on the tops of the forks..

Thanks for the replys.Didn't mean to post this in the wrong section. I looked at some Gsx1100 stuff on ebay and it sure looks close. I traded for this project and there seems to be some confusion about what year it's from.
