the R850R forks look the same , apart from the steering damper, and they might be shorter ,but is the bridge the same?

im thinking of fitting the R850R muddy on my 1100 GS
any constructive ideas, or previous experience:nenau

bit messy, as in mud or fitting?

want to keep original wheel
my idea is to do sumat the same as the TT guard , but on the cheap:D

the TT is shorter than standard 1100 muddy n avnt heard any problems with these as yet:nenau

Could have something to do with tire clearance.
And TKC80 could be a no go :D

As in the wheel diameter ?
850R 17inch rim
GS 19inch rim
The 850 rim looks smaller in the pic to me :confused:
 
Just thought,Brian R had one on his GS,so maybe they do and clear the tyre. Have a look on his site at his bike www.1a-2j.co.uk and see:thumb2

Edit;just had a look and it's an RS one on his
