MORPHEUS Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 What model of USD forks are closest for length to the standard GSX 1100 forks, early 80's model. Quote Link to comment
stockcar Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Think the Kwak ZX9-R often get used for this reason..... Quote Link to comment

Swirl Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Yes I have zx9rb usd forks on one of my 70's non OSS builds, they are a good length Quote Link to comment
inazumarob Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Watercooled GSXR 1100 775mm. 1997 ZX9R B4 775mm. GSXR 750 2007ish 770mm. 1year only I think. Quote Link to comment
MORPHEUS Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 Thanks guys that'll give me something to work with Quote Link to comment
Swiss Toni Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 But ... ZX-9R RWU's are 46mm stanchions. Monster! Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 KTM RC8 WP forks are 775mm but you'll have to modify the top yoke or make a shim (they are 51/54 in size) and do a radial brake conversion. Some of their large capacity SM models had long forks too with axial brakes but they are gettting a bit old now (although not as old as the Japanese models listed above). Quote Link to comment
Reinhoud Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I have no clue how close the GSX1100 is to the GS1000, but I have the front fork of the First Kawasaki ZXR750r with USD in mine, that looks alright. Quote Link to comment
HUM Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 traditional GSX 600F 41mm with GSXR 1100 bridges and GSXR 750 wheel workes too Quote Link to comment
