Trac forks

[bfrazi1111]

Hey there. I have an 82 gl110 that has a bent fork and I'm pulling the forks off of an 83. The 83 has the trac forks on it and the 82 doesn't. are there any problems that I should be looking for when swapping parts? I'm new to the wing world. I'm hoping I can get some info from you guys.

Easiest way to avoid issues is use the 83 front end.

The forks should swap out fine. The brake caliper mounting is different, so you'll need the brackets and hardware.

Is there any way to delete the trac system on the forks? I have to swap forks but I have no interest in rebuilding g the trac system if it needs it. I have read some places that the parts to rebuild trac are going to run me $150. That's a little ridiculous to me. Can I turn this system off or am I looking at a doomed swap?

The Trac is a real simple system. Even if it doesn't work like it should I don't think it would cause any problems.

I don't think it would cause any problems.

Does anyone know if the axles are different on the trac forks? Am I going to need to change from comstar to mag wheels? Also does the braking system work differently from 82 to 83 models?

 

[Steve83]

The axles are the same. The only difference in the brakes would be the caliper mounting brackets. You should be able to use your '82 calipers. Wheels and rotors should all interchange, except for the Aspencade, which uses different brakes.

Thank you. I'm glad I brought thsee questions here. I have learned more in 2 days than I have in pages of Google searches

Use your 82 calipers.
The 83 has one caliper with 25mmpistons and one with 32mm because of the linked brakes.
If you use the 83 speedo snail-drive, you'll need the 83 cable. The axle is the same.

My 82 has 83 forks, wheel and speedo drive. Kept the 82 calipers, bolt right up!
There was no difference with the 82 wheel on it, rotor is the same unless it was an Aspencade donor.
