Are the mounting points for the fairings on the F and hyosung similar?

Anyone tried this? Could be worth a shot...

So, did some digging and found out some stuff about the Hyosungs.

Front Triple Bearings (41mm USD fork setup sharing a 25 deg rake with the GS)

Description                                          Dimensions               Factory
BEARING, steering lower                      ID28 x OD52 x W16    KBC 320/28XJ
BEARING, steering upper                      ID25 x OD47 x W15    KBC 32005XJ

GS Bearings
Upper: 25 x 47 x 15
Lower: 30 x 55 x 17

Looks like upper bearings are the same size although the lower one is a bit off.

Also, the 250GT easily takes 160 rubber on the back. I'm looking into swingarm details and a possible direct swap.

Thoughts?

If I'm thinking correctly (it's 6 am for me right now), you should be able to machine that out to 17mm. However, the steering stem length isn't listed. Could be the same though.

If you do a google search for "fork swap compatibility info" you should be able to find a list of all steering stem bearing sizes. Or search for your size on All Balls bearings site.
