Title: New Gs500 forks...
Post by: Rollin668 on January 01, 2004, 10:10:09 AM
Did anyone notice that the forks on the 2004 GS are made by Paoli?
I have Paolis on my Laverda - 'cept the Laverda forks are USD, fully adjustable, and 41mm... nice touch on the new GS...    :thumb:

That would explain why they look slightly different than the old ones.  I hope the damping is better on them...

Here is a suzuki page that I found that has the most pics & blurbs I've seen.

I saw it on one of the bikeshow pics.  There was a picture of the front forks and it looked like one of the forks had the Paoli symbol on it.

It could be an instance of a "concept" idea on the bike, but that fork I saw had a Paoli symbol on it...
