Stewart750 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Hi guys, Been searching and searching, and can't find anything decent to throw in my 750et, currently got a b12 MK1 in it and was looking for something more adjustable and possibly longer or same height but would like to stay rwu and cannot find anything.

wraith Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Do the MK2 b12 have more adjustment? Trying to find a fully adjustable fork that's as long if not longer and rwu, good luck Quote Link to comment
Stewart750 Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 Looked, the only thing is a 1250 is the same but they sell a cartridge kit for them but that's it, looked at zx9 but rwu are 755mmĀ Quote Link to comment
Stewart750 Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 Not sure to be honest, but not sure where to go, I track her and had to grind off part of the side stand, but trying to get it in the van or over a speed bump and the exhaust scrapes quite well Quote Link to comment
Spazpecker Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Quicky , quick bikes, on you tube has fitted triumph front end on his 600 blandit. Fully adjustable apparently.Ā Quote Link to comment
Stewart750 Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 They are but I think there shorter? Quote Link to comment
TonyGee Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 what about a stepped top yoke ? its possible to weld two together and then slide the forks down.Ā Quote Link to comment

Ā Ā Ā That would be really handy but aren't blandit 12 forks 770mm? If so It would grind out even more, or could you make a taller yoke if that makes sense? Quote Link to comment
fatblokeonbandit Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Ah right just read your post properlyĀ yes b12 are 770mmĀ I donāt know about adjustability but when I stupidly raced my b12 I had the forks revalvedĀ and sprung forĀ my weight the difference was night and dayĀ Quote Link to comment

Also anyone know how long thundercat forks are? There adjustable and they could be long enough as I believe the clip one were on top of the yoke? Quote Link to comment
Stewart750 Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 Been reading and found that 1st gen r6 forks are 800mm, worth a shot or anyone had experience with them? Quote Link to comment
Wagola Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Went to Harris recently to get my frame repaired and asked about some Ohlins forks. They said 'why pay for Ohlins, get a set of recent forks, get them modded with a cartridge kit and they will be as good as Ohlins.' Just saying that most recent forks can be made much better with a decent up-grade kit on them. But you pays your money you takes your pick. Still love a set of the gold ones on the front of the bike tho. Quote Link to comment

Also don't want to go USD as it doesn't look right in my opinion, but I see where there coming from Quote Link to comment
Sploofanoofa Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 GSX 1400? nice and long. Not a massive amount of adjustment, not too fancy either... Quote Link to comment

The point I was trying to make is that most 'recent' forks can be vastly improved with a cartridge kit. Quote Link to comment

I kind of get where they're coming from but I could stretch to selling a vital body organ to get my hands on a pair of RWU black ohlins Quote Link to comment
