Fork Swap Question.....

[Anonymous]

I see on ebay there is a plentiful selection of GSXR fork assemblies some with the clip ons and switches etc....

There are all years available so i just need to know which ones are direct bolt on replacement that would NOT require metal work just take off old forks..put new ones on!

I know nothing is simply bolt on when it comes to that kind of mod but i'm just curious!

thanks again for the help!!!

What bike do you have and what year is it?

I too want to do this because I want to have the newer model brakes taht come on the GSXRs.

All 750 and larger GSX models (from 1980) and all GSXR 750 / 1100 non watercooled (up to 1992 I think) used the same steering head bearings. That's one of best things Suzuki ever did. Your only issue then will be your frame's steering head depth / length as this did change within the different frames (you might need to make spacers). Plus the fact that GSXR forks will be shorter than GSX and you will lose some ground clearance. Have a look at this site for more radical GSX / GSXR mods:

Good luck guys!

I have heard The GSXR1100 are the ones to use they are about 1 " shorter then the GS the GSXR750 are shorter yet, maybe 2"
