new front end ?

Post by pwmotorsports » Sun Jun 13, 2010 10:36 pm

okay bear with me...........

me forks are fecked well need a new leg on one side news springs seals and oil so imo I might be better just getting another set used.......

Now i have at present a fzr 600 set in it left leg has a mark that will imo cause me seal problems in future and new tubes seem about £80 want to stiffen them up anyway so new springs gonna set me back lets say £100 by the time i got seals oil and springs so do i spend £180 on these?

Or I have a left hand 99 r1 fork leg thats ok and right leg that is slight bent so maybe find a right leg used? or I got me last set of r1 forks for £100 so should be able to get a set of them sorted ive got spare r1 yokes aswell and of course the stem ive got needs moving to the r1 yokes if i do this if ive read it right? also if i have it correct I need to then either use me trx wheel and make spacers or get another r1 wheel ? speedo is a vapour digital so speedo drive not an issue

I have searched and there is so much info i think ive confussed myself with it all so some guidance would be great

oh and if anyone has a straight right hand r1 fork leg i would be interested ............

I've had a few small bends pressed flat on forks before. Thats always an option to look at.

Well hagon reckon that these will do the trick for me 37mm x 340mm / 0.7 - 1.1kg ( please quote 400-039-00 ) this is for the fzr forks with a 20 stone rider
