    Possible that the 1000 triples will bolt right up & have steerer stops, ignition etc in right place but maybe not....

    You get a 37mm dia fork that way - also more weight. Any of them will allow you to keep your wire wheels & any front end will bolt up as far as bearings, it's the other bits that differ.

      Please let me know when you have the brackets, I need a set for my GS1000, the stock brakes absolutely stink.

        Much appreciated!

        YOu might have to re-drill the holes or at the very least take them out from 6mm to 8mm depending on which ones you get.
        Thank you mister.
        can i use the stock gsxr calipers you think since i use the usd forks from the same bike?

            I am expecting to receive them in a couple of weeks all going well... They should be in the middle of the Pacific about now if my info is correct.

              Please pm me when they come in. I definitely want a set before spring.

                I am also very keen, although I would like only the brackets if that can be done. Very easy for me to get the bolts over here is Aus.

                  I don't mess around with bolts anymore... mostly because you can use the stockers with blue loctite with the steel brackets

                        I can't wait!

                        I just scored a set of Ninja600 calipers, and VFR750 95-98 rotors (same as the F3/900) so all I need are the brackets. BTW are the rotor offset spacers included in the kit? Also what is the final price going to be?

                        Comment


                          Yes included & should be about $82 in a flat rate priority.

                          They arrive to port tomorrow so I am expecting to have them in my hands next week.

                            Awesome. Cannot wait until they arrive. I am doing a full rebuild on my wheels at the moment. Should have a nice front end ready to go by the time they make it to Australia.

                                Should have them in my hands on Friday.... Yes no problem to Paypal/ check ahead of time.

                                I just didn't want to do anything too far in advance!
