marcaztls Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Well, more like what are these forks from? I'm hoping someone can identify them 'cos I've had them for so bloomin' long I have no idea what they came from. I'm thinking Suzuki, and I recognise the rear mudguard mounts above the caliper mounts from something Suzuki-ish, but only one leg has a compression adjuster, the left leg. They both have rebound and preload adjustments and they have 45mm stanchions. I can't remember any bike with both legs having rebound adjustment, but only one having compression... Fanks in advancement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcaztls Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Well, since posting I've been doing some more 'net searching, and the left fork leg is indeed 100% GSXR600 SRAD, but they all have compression adjusters on the other fork leg too. So I still don't get what the right leg is from... Thank you very much though kja.busa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooby601 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Earlier 600's didn't have the compression adjuster so I'd guess at 1 of each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the 1997 GSXR600 SRAD didn't have comp adjusters at all. You're only bloody right! And very clever. Many thanks! Now the next question - How the hell did I end up with two forks from different models?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the next question - How the hell did I end up with two forks from different models?! The bike was started on new years eve, then finished on new years day, hence part of a '96, part '97.

Evilchicken0 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 You bought them, they were bought by a customer off the bay, they didn't notice the difference and gave good feedback. They bought them to you to fit but left them their and you got distracted by fig rolls, or a really nice SB6 with a worn out chain, so you never really looked at them. Sell them separately on the bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcaztls Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 You're a very smart man Boris. So exactly how much did you sell these forks to me for and how long ago was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilchicken0 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Mate, it's not the parts it's the labour ..... You know what I mean, I'd love to help you but I'd be cutting me own cloth ...etc There's a pair on't bay "rusted and pitted, needing seals" for £50, so you can ask £35 a leg ... ???
