Re: gk71f forks
Good old ebay. Another good place to get parts is Robinsons Foundary call 01227 454366.
As for how to do them, myself and Stripes1976 put together a step by step guide a while back.
PM me with your email address and I will try and find it and send you a copy.

Re: gk71f forks
Email with the fork seal 'how to' guide sent.
It is based on the GK76 forks but should give you the idea.

Re: gk71f forks
I use 10wt although the spec sheet on the 76 states 5.
I have found the info for you though:
http://www.runboard.com/bgsxr400.f2.t181816" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Always a great place for gsxr info!
