speedfreak9t9 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Hello everyone out there. I'm looking at sorting out the front end on my 07 'bird and was wondering if anyone has done a complete fork transplant? Will BLADE or CBR forks fit in the yolks or is it a drama? Any help will be grateful. Otherwise what are the general thoughts for spring changes and oil weight to sort it out at the front. It's the only thing that is niggling me about the bike and it'll be great to sort it out. Thanks, speedfreak9t9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianmacza Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 We have a couple members who have transplanted wierd shit to the front of their bikes... Busa and ZX14 in fact... Both were awesome mods (too much bike-downtime for mw to think of it seriously tho) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedfreak9t9 Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 Cheers for the replies lads, will look out side the honda stable, suzuki stuff is good enough as second best. Most people seem to go for 1.2 kg springs and 5woil so maybe that's the way if nothing looks easy to fit. We have a couple members who have transplanted wierd shit to the front of their bikes...

Good info to know! thanks Basically it was unchanged here in Aus (and I believe worldwide) except for colours and the screen Production ceased about July last year for here in Aus, last shipments in August 07 although they are still selling the remaining stock and they are compliance plated as 08's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
