Re: 1978 GS750 -- First Build
Okay, so the front forks... The upper were in such bad, rusty shape (as you saw in the photo) that I have ordered some new ones, but in the mean time I took the old ones and cleaned them up a bit and hit them with some black paint so they wouldn't look so horrible and cobbled them together for the intent of mocking-up the front end to make sure everything fits right. When the new uppers get here they will be installed with new Progressive springs and W15 fork oil. The fork pictures were mostly there to show off the lowers... Sorry for the confusion there.
