Hello All,
New guy here, I've browsed this forum quite a few times and found lots of helpful tech on it.
First off a lil background on the bike. A friend of mine has a BMW GS 1100 (or 1200?) that is his enduro bike, he's stripped it down, smaller tank :blah: :blah:. Its got conventional forks on it, and we have a set of 1991 Suzuki RM250 Forks, Inverted Showa's (from what we've found). :nod: I think you can see where this is going.
The bearings, etc are all the correct size and such.
The forks we got have a gash in one of the fork lowers and it needs to be replaced. Also one of the Stanchions is broken. Well we got bench racing and I got to thinking, What is the Dimensional Specifications on the 1991 Forks and the Forks on my 1993 RM250. We are looking to build hybrid Forks for his BMW GS to get better offroad handling.
Does anyone have a resource, or the specs, on hand for the internals of both shocks? I havent been able to find them online, and dont really want to disassemble both sets to compare.
Cliffnotes: Whats the Internal Dimensions/Differences between 1991 and 1993 Suzuki RM 250 Forks?
Thank you.
