DB90 Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 Hey all! New here to the site and new to GSXR stuff in general. Very good info here! So to get to my question, I just aquired a set of 91 GSXR 750 forks and the are missing the lower triple clamp and axle. Can anyone tell me if there are any other years that are compatible with them? I believe the top is 50mm and the bottom should be 54mm. If I am not mistaken then 96-99 should fit. I attached pics of the forks that I have. Quote
Boothy Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 Always best to introduce yourself in the relevant section mate and then ask a question. There's a huge amount of knowledge on here and the majority of folk are happy to help out. But manors cost nowt and go along way. Now to the famous search facility on here... The folks of OSS do like it when you use the search facility and can get a bit vexed when questions are asked 1000's of times and the answers posted as many times to... Thing is (As I found out) you really need a search facility to search the search facility..... You also need to type in the correct word or it will churn up millions of posts with the words you have selected... There was something I read about USD forks and what need doing to fit em, think it was to do with pressing in the bandit stub, but I cant remember... Give the search a try.... Welcome to OSS mate, its good in ere...... Quote

Welcome to OSS mate, its good in ere...... Oops, my bad, sorry about that. Figured I could get the introduction and question outta the way all at once lol. I have tried searching for the answer to my question but am having a hell of a time finding exactly what I need. Every post that has any of the words I'm searching for pops up. Got a bit impatient trying to weed through all of the results lol Quote
Boothy Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) If its just the yokes you are after, get the one from the bike the forks came off. Failing that, you can always have a set made up of nice billet alloy. Theres a set of yokes on fleabay for the 91 750 GSXR for £120. Edited December 30, 2019 by Boothy Quote
SiBag Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 Hi, Welcome to OSS. This may be of use. have a look in the vault there is loads of good info.. Quote

I do not have access to the bike these came off of. I got them from someone who had planned on doing a conversion on something and never did then stashed them away for some years. I've seen the ones on Eblag. A tad out of my price range right at this moment (post holiday brokeness). Just trying to find a cheaper alternative if possible, hence why I'm asking for compatible years lol. 17 minutes ago, SiBag said: Hi, Welcome to OSS.

DB90 Posted December 30, 2019 Author Posted December 30, 2019 Seems to me that the 96-99 SRAD yoke should work. Might have to get a matching top yoke though. Quote
CockneyRick Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 Spindle won't, yours is mech speedo & that one has a spacer cos of Elec pickup. And just a guess, but i'd stick with the one for bike as the gap between forks is likely to be different due to them having totally different wheels/spacers/spindles Quote
Robsj413 Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 What's the diameter of the forks there? I've just pulled my slabby appart and I'm fitting a set of forks off an srad on there, however I did buy most of it off a helpful chap on here. Quote

I'm going to have to make alot of modifications. Mostly just getting correct bearings and making wheel spacers. 4 minutes ago, Robsj413 said: What's the diameter of the forks there?

From all of my research and measurements it should be Top - 50mm Bottom - 54mm Quote
DB90 Posted January 8, 2020 Author Posted January 8, 2020 19 minutes ago, CockneyRick said: Correct & the 1100s are 52/56 Ok. So are the 96-99 750 SRAD forks 50 and 54? Quote
DB90 Posted January 8, 2020 Author Posted January 8, 2020 Also, would the GSXR 750 K4/K5's work too? Seems to me that those are 50mm and 54mm as well. Quote
fatblokeonbandit Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) you need a pair, the top yoke you have has a different stem offset to the later GSXR yokes, so you need a 54mm bottom yoke from 1990 to 1992 oil cooled, all the water-cooled slingshots and later SRAD/K series have different offset, as long as you get a pair that match it doesn't really matter as you will need wheel spacers and stuff.. and of course you need to consider the different diameters of the steering stems Edited January 9, 2020 by fatblokeonbandit 1 Quote
CockneyRick Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 In other words, just get a matching front end compilation Quote
