fork ID please - got them with a bunch of parts
« on: September 20, 2010, 08:21:48 PM »
was wondering if anyone could ID these forks, got them along with a bunch of parts with my recent purchase ('78 cb750f).  they're polished, excellant shape and have allen head recessed fork caps.  was told they're off a goldwing. no idea what year, tho.  i'd like to stick them in the "for sale" section, thx.

tubes are 37mm
exposed tube length of 420mm
center-tocenter distance between caliper mounting holes is 107mm
4-bolt axle caps
20mm axle

looked on ebay last night, have a few sets of similar forks for sale and are ID'd as from 76/76 gl1000.  they match bikebandit.com exploded view for that year too.  i'll scan the gl forums too,

75-77 GL 1000.

 The 78-79 GL 1000 have the caliper mounting lugs closer together.
