Compatible forks
- Any forks with a top clamping diameter of 48mm to 55mm, and bottom clamping diameter of 53mm to 56mm i.e. Honda CBR 929/954/1000RR, Yamaha R1, Suzuki GSXR 600/750/1000 , and many more, ranging multiple years from 2000 – 2020.
- Headstem offset is changed from the original of 50mm to 40mm – The fork offset is responsible for stability and side to side steering lock.
- Selecting type of fork conversion – ‘Standard’ Indicates that clip-on handlebars must be used, ‘Riser’ indicates that a tapered handlebar with 28.5mm clamping diameter is to be used – Works perfectly with our tapered handlebars, or Rizoma Style handlebars.
- Choose any extras, such as a motoscope pro, mini, or tiny mounting brackets if you intend on on running a sleek new speedo with your new front end. The motoscope speedo is sold separately – be sure to check out our motogadget range.
*CBR models from 2000 to 2007 are plug and play due to a fork to fork spacing of 214mm, It therefore allows the CBR wheel, rotors and axle to be used without the need of spacers.
Other forks like Suzuki GSXR, Yamaha R1, Kawasaki or BMWS1000RR (and more) are also a popular selection with this kit. However, brake rotor spacers and axle spacers may be required if using the donor front wheel. Contact us if custom rotor adapters and axle spacers are required.
**Ohlins fork models may fit, however, lengths and axle spacing needs to be identical to the above listed models.
