FZR600 or R6 forks
« on: April 05, 2013, 09:34:49 am »
Not VMX but you won't know if you don't ask.
Chasing some early FZR600 forks (the longer 38mm ones), don't mind rebuilds etc.
pm me if you have something or know where I should be looking.
Cheers,
Steve

chasing the earlier 38mm fzr type as first preference.

Yeah Mark, looking at setting up a modern UK style, as I have a set of clamps that will fit the bill. They are 35mm at the moment and whilst the R6 are better, the old fzr are light and I don't have to take as much off the clamps.
When I talk to local suspension experts about lowering modern forks they just can't get past the 40mm mark. It's like the world is flat but I'm trying to convince them it's not.  :D
