Ok, Ok... before we got to far ahead of ourselves here, there are some positives and negatives to this piece!

Positives: Nice machine work, well optioned, will help pick up some height in the front, etc.. Overall, very nice piece.

Negatives: It doesn't fit my bike!!! LOL

It was actually built to accommodate GSXR front end, so the fork spacing is about 1mm off on both sides and the stem is about 2~3mm off.

I got it to test it out and see if I could get it to work and I probably could but it would require some machining.

My options are return it, keep it for the next project or perhaps sell it to someone who is running GSXR front forks.. hmmmm

So I can't take credit for this nice piece of work.. :)

Absolutely take credit! LOL. If I didn't already have some custom triples, I'd be all over it! What year/model forks is it machined to fit? I bet there is someone on this forum that will snap it up in a second if you can't use it ;)

I have a spare set of OEM triples from my '06 GSXR 1K forks (if that top clamp will fit) that I don't need. You'd just need some gixxer forks :)

I think it was built to support 02~ ish 750's. They all are 50mm forks so I would assume they would work. I would be willing to give it a try!!

acording to this chart. the 750 and 1000 use the same diameter fork.

Yes sir, as are the ZX10's, so I would think it a GXSR bottom trip just may do the trick!
