sparki Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 afternoon all, im wanting to swap the front end of my katana... i have a complete front end off another bike so need some yoke info please n getting them on... i have another stem i can use without destroying mine, so that can be pressed into something else if needed, but and before i go and get something made... i was hoping someone would know if anything here had their yoke fork centres at 214mm that took a 41mm leg? i see a load of newer usd stuff is 214 spaced but they're all along the lines of 50 odd mm spacing so too big a hole... would like to carry on with clip-ons so a flat top yoke would be ideal too cheers Quote Link to comment
Swiss Toni Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 If you're changing the front end (with what, you don't say), why stay with 41mm stanchions? Most RWU's are 43mm, Z9's are 46! Find a decent, complete front end, and put your spare stem in that. Quote Link to comment
sparki Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 i have a complete front end ready to go in - katana was 37. it came off a bike that was used at a college to learn on so essentially 0 miles... im cheap, thats why its 41 Quote Link to comment
KATANAMANGLER Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Behold, this may be of help on the fork diameter size at least.. Quote Link to comment
KATANAMANGLER Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 CBR 600 F3 are 41 too but they come with full cartridge internals and compact nissin 4 pots no idea what the centres are. Quote Link to comment
sparki Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 thanks all... to be honest it looks like the stuff i have is too entry level with no adjustment other than spring and oil to make a difference... and nothing i could fins used 41 diameter legs with that spacing... i was going to get some yokes made but as i say, the forks themselves are mediocre with no adjustment... i think i need to bite the bullet and buy a complete front end that will bolt in and i can stop fucking around with trying this/that and the next thing... does anyone know if anything will bolt straight into my kat frame? gsxr slingshot i thought were close? b12 with a stem swap and top yoke for clip-ons?... dont need a speedo drive as im going to use koso clocks anyway...
