You can definitely make them fit via modification. The main problem I encountered is that the shock length on the GE is shorter than the shock length on the GD in the rear. I couldn't get the seat with the collar for adjustment of to fit in with the spring.

Tried... too much of a difference with the seat in, at least on the Skunk2's.
