Hi all

I've owned my A10 for over 4 decades now, initially building it from several boxes of bits! Over the years I've made SO many modifications to it, but this GT750J front end has been one of the best! I recently had to change my fork seals, so I took the opportunity to make a video of how I got the Suzuki forks and hub to fit to my bike. I first fitted them back in early 1995 and, along with the rest of the bike, have continued to modify and improve them since.

All the best
Adrian

G'day Adrian.
That would be a massive improvement. BUT I'd have to take out a mortgage on the house if I could find a straight one  *lol*

Hi Musky

Yes, they are pricy, but I am selling my spare front hub if you after one, and its cheaper than the one you posted:

As you've been so helpful to me on this forum in the past, happy to do a deal, although postage won't be that cheap from the UK.
You don't need GT750 forks - their internals are quite basic anyway. I had a GT750 hub in RD250 and then early Kawasaki folks on my race bike.

G'day Adrian.
Thanks for the offer. I figure with £100 postage it would amount to $1420.77AU (two weeks wages). At the moment I can't afford the axle! I see it's in one persons basket already.
I've got the XT/SR500 up for sale. If it goes and your hub is still available I'd go for it.
Cheers

I gave two of those complete front hubs away, back when I could buy a complete bike for $300-500 NZD
