Help Identifying This Front End???

Hi, This was in a parts lot I acquired. Looks like an 80's CSR 1100? The axle is in front of the fork tubes, off center. But it has a bunch of valves and adjustment things I am not familiar with??
I hope someone can instantly identify it! And also, needs it! Because you can purchase it really cheap!! These were quick phone pics. I can take better pics with camera, the tubes measure: 37mm.
TIA.

How certain are you of the 37mm fork tube size? Also, I can't tell by the pics, but are there any dust boots?
I looked at various 82-85 Ltd, Spectre & shaft drive models, but they were either 36mm or 38mm.
Most of them had the fork gaiters, so they have small dust boots, not the typical dust boots found on most KZs.

Sorry, wasn't thinking.
It is from a Suzuki GS 1100 81-83.
Should have dawned on me, I had a 17" rear rim, hub and some sprockets from an 1100 GS. I thought were Busa's? Never was into Suzuki's?

Thanks Martin For your time and effort!!! You are always willing to help search and write into other's questions and queries!
You are an asset to this forum! It did not dawn on me to search the Suzuki's before I posted question. Just a few weeks ago, I listed 2 PBI rear sprockets I thought were Busa, The guy i got them from said they were. He had a dragbike sitting there in front of me. Luckily no one purchased them. As I would have been in the wrong. They have 2 style busa's 99-2005-6. Then a different size pattern for the newer up to current. Sucks getting old, 62 yr. old brain is not what it used to be! :lol: :lol:
