I have a lot of literature, including dealer order forms, catalogs, some factory daily production records, etc . for 1960 and 1961 GK 800's. A 6" rear wheel was offered as an option.............reportedly to allow for larger axle sprockets.

Russ,
Would it be possible for me to obtain copies of some of those items? I'd be glad to compensate you for any costs involved.
Thanks!
