How do you determine if another bikes forks/front assemnly will fit your bike? I have seen gsxr front assemblys on everything from SVs to Sportsters and saw a zx14 front on another Harley, along with other combinations. I was hoping someone on here had some know how. I have a dilemma, I have a 1998 vulcan 500 with forks bent in halve. I bought what I thought where replacements but when they showed up they were different entirely in literally every aspect. They are apparently from some sub model only made only for a few years. The issue is I cannot find the correct ones anywhere craigslist, ebay, rice paddy, and cycle search is no more. SO I was hoping to find some alternative front end that might be easier to locate. I find people that know about swaps but no one who actually knows how to do it. I know it is a very general question, but hoping for any help I can get (aside from cutting the neck and welding in another)
