Catman Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I wasn't permited to post in the how to yet , but was asked for this from another member sooooooooo, Here is a basic list and may help out if anyone is interested in updateing thier front end. May want to sticky it ? (This covers most relevant bikes) Part numbers indicate fork size (mm)For example, CL0045 is a 45mm clip-onApriliaRS250 CL0050Mille CL0050Mille R CL0051BMWStrada CL0041BuellM2 Cyclone CL0043S1, S2 95-98 CL0054XB9 CL0054XB12 CL0054X1 CL0054Ducati750/900SS CL0050Monster CL0050748/916/996 CL0053HondaCB-1 89-90 CL0041CBR600 87-90 CL0037CBR600F2 CL0041CBR600F3 CL0041CBR600F4/F4i 99-05 CL0043CBR600RR 03-04 CL0045CBR600RR 05-07 CL0048XR600 CL0043Hawk 650 CL0041VFR700 86-87 CL0037VFR750 90-97 CL0041RC30 88-90 CL0043RC45 CL0050CBR900RR 93-99 CL0045CBR929/954 CL0050RC51 00-05 CL0050VTR1000 98-02 CL0041CBR1000F 93-96 CL0041CBR1000RR 04-07 CL0050CBR1100XX 97-02 CL0043OhlinsSuperbike Forks 53.5Pre-95 Superbike Forks 51KawasakiEX250 36EX500 87-93 36EX500 94+ CL0037Ninja 600/750/900 85-92 CL0038EX650R 06-07 CL0041ZX6E CL0041ZX6R 95-97 CL0041ZX6R 98-02 CL0046ZX6R/RR 03-07 CL0050ZX7R/RR 91-04 CL0052ZX9R 94-97 CL0052ZX9R 98-02 CL0046ZX10 88-90 CL0041ZX10R 04-07 CL0050ZX11 90-97 CL0043ZRX1100/1200 CL0046ZX14R CL0050SuzukiRGV250 CL0050GSF400/600 Bandit CL0041RG500 CL0038GS500 CL0037GSXF600/750/1100 Katana CL0041RF600/900 94-96 CL0043GSXR600 92-93 CL0050GSXR600 94-96 CL0050GSXR600 97-03 CL0045GSXR600 04-07 CL0050SV650 99-07 CL0041GSXR750/1100 86-87 CL0041GSXR750/1100 88-90 CL0043GSXR750 93-06 CL0050GSXR1000 01-07 CL0050TL1000R CL0050TL1000S CL0052GSXR1100 91-94 CL0052GSXR1100 95-98 CL0050GSF1200 Bandit 97-05 CL0043GSXR1300 CL0050YamahaTZ250 CL0052RZ350 84-86 CL0035FZR400,600 CL0038R6 99-04 CL0043R6 05-07 CL0050YZF600 94-95 CL0041FZR750RR 0W01 89-90 CL0043FZR1000 89-90 CL0043FZR1000 91-95 CL0052FZR750 CL0041YZF750 94-97 CL0050R1 98-07 CL0050http://www.vortexracing.com/index.ph...&category=Tech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catman Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 What do you mean you aren't allowed to post in there yet? You never asked.Oh , OK see how I am !! LOL I always do that ! You probably already have something listed and I didn't read that either ! LOLThanks , can I ?? Can I, HUH ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catman Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 It gives the part number ! You can swap up almost all of these front ends onto ANY BIKE ! Sometimes they ARE direct swaps. sometimes a trip to the machine shop for a bearing or stem cut. the only other issue is wheel spacing ??my 2000 750 = 02 gsxr 1000 six pot My 01 750 = 05 front end radial brakesmy 955i = 01 gsxr 750 front endMy bandit 400 = 2000 gsxr 750 front end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) ummm, that's a list of clip-on bar apps. Note the last two digits on each part number. That's the fork diameter in millimeters. Only those that have the same diameter forks would swap. Plus the length of the fork and the distance between forks at the yoke would matter. Although forks of different diameters can still swap if it's a yoke (triple tree) that bolts right up to the frame. Too bad manufacturers don't carry over the same part number for same parts. Honda adds digits to part numbers that identify the specific model.But it's a good idea. I've not seen a really good list of the various fork swaps. It would need to list the details of what was modified or had to change in order to work.Edit: to be specific, there's different levels of swap: forks only (replace existing forks), forks and wheel assy (bolt into triple tree), forks, wheel assy and triple tree (bolt right into frame). Modifications to axle width/length and/or mods to triple tree aren't fun. (not for me anyway) Edited February 22, 2009 by ReconRat stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catman Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 You could look at that, see that your 2001 gsxr has the same fork dementions as the 05-06 bike and swap it out for a newer front end , get the wheel , calipers and rotors and slide it right in ? whalllla direct swap on that one , don't even need the tripples ! and several more.Who cares about a clip on !

Some of this you gotta figure out yourself ? The list helps me and any do it yourselfer !Skip it !

ReconRat Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Some of this you gotta figure out yourself ? The list helps me !Skip it !:lol:easy there... yes, that a good place to start, figure out the various fork diameters. And yes, some front fork assemblies are exactly identical. I do know of a website that graciously lists what other model bikes use the same identical part, when you look for a particular part for a bike. I'll look at if for front end parts and see if it makes any sense as to what will swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catman Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 My bad, I can't type and didn't wanna explain as much as I should. It's just a basic list on fork sizes to work off of when doing it. It's all I got. The best way is get the tripples,stem, and forks wheel and brakes from donor bike. and go from there. get correct bearing made and pressed if needed, cut stem if needed and rethread, space wheel if needed ,bleed brakes.
