    The Suzuki NZ service bulletin for the GS doesn't have it in the specs and without stripping the shock out of the bike I had a measure up

    The unloaded length of the shock from eye to eye is roughly 320mm +/- a mm or 2

    Hello Warren ...

    No. I simply have a now excess pair of mint 05 busa USD forks lying around and having a look at how easy it would be to chuck them on a GS.

    I wouldnt mind having a project when I get back.

    How are you?

    On the eyeometer it's 808mm from the axle eye to the fork cap (flat edge... not the nut head)

    The Service bulletin has:

    front fork stroke = 130mm
    front fork spring free length = 409.4mm
    front fork oil level = 106mm
    front fork oil type = fork oil SS-08 or #10 or equivalent fork oil
    front fork oil capacity (each leg) = 599ml (20.2/21.1 US/Imp oz)
