Hello, I searched for the answer and didn't see anything, so I figured I would ask here.

I have a 2012 GTS300, love it to death, had an accident a few months ago where I drilled a curb doing 40. Front end has felt a little "off" ever since. Thinking about replacing the front fork that I think is slightly off, but started wondering about the new GTS front ends. I like the difference in ride from the new front suspension setup. Is there anyway to mount a new 2015-2016 front fork and suspension set up on an older GTS?

Is the fork bent or is the steering simply no longer straight. Could just be the handlebars out of alignment? It could also be the rear swing-arm is damaged. You may have simply damaged the steering bearings.

You could instal the newer gts front fork and hub and shock. However, it has an electronic pick up for the speedo which won't work with your cable driven speedo gauge.

You can get a whole front end for your model gts from eBay (used) for fairly cheap and instal it yourself with fresh steering bearings.
