GT250/380 forks compatability

Post by daxman »

Hi All

Will any disc-brake forks from a GT380 fit my GT250A?

Cheers

Fork tube assemblies & triple trees have the same part numbers.

Wasn’t expecting that given the weight difference.

You could widen your search to include 1970s GS400 forks. I have a set from a 1978 GS400 fitted to my GT380. They don't look identical but fit perfectly providing you don't want the old style mudguard brackets that bolt to the bottom of the leg. Mine have the GS400 progressive springs fitted and a set of universal 33mm preload adjusters bought from ebay. Adjusters needed a small amount of fiddling to make fit as the washers on the underside were too large, but a few minutes on a bench grinder fixed that problem.
