7/11 W - What yokes ?

[34Black]

Finally my 7/11 build is about to start so stand back for plenty of stupid questions 

First one

What yokes will I need to fit TL1000S forks to a 750 WN frame ?

[snoorder]

Fork diameters for the 750W ar 50/54 and TL is 50/55. Doesn't this fit in the bottom yoke with a bit of persuasion?

Have a look on the old site here for more info: http://old-skool-suzuki.proboards.com/thread/612/fork-conversion-chart

As it looks to me an 1100W bottom yoke should do the job and will fit your frame without any problems.

Cheers guys, next question will be fitting a W wheel into the forks. I'll leave that one for another day.

Just use the tl1000 yokes. All you need is a stock 32006 taper roller bearing on the bottom yoke and a 32906 on the top,you'll just need to sort the lockstops

Marksman do the top bearing you need.

Unfortunately all I have from the TL is the fork legs. But a large selection of 750 and 1100W parts.

Hi fella things to consider are 

finding a specific set of Gsxr yokes can be a challenge when half the sellers don't know what size or model the ones they have actually are 

 

tl yokes are not as common but at least you know what your buying and the bearing swap " above " joins it all together 

bearing swaps in wheels are simple - measure od of w bearing x od of spindle x width of w bearing 

biggest challenges your faced with ( dependant on your access to machinery ) is " possibly " turning spacers to centre wheel and making sure your discs sit in centre of calipers 

luckily as your using a few Suzuki parts most discs etc have the Same stud patterns so different offsets etc are available 

also spacing or machining calipers or between wheel and disc (within reason ) is an option 

it's bound to have been done loads hit the web for some "wheel swaps"
