Top or bottom? The top is of the fork tube is 50mm, but I'm not sure about the bottom triple. If you need it I can measure mine. The man does excellent work, and you'll be able to see these super fine triple trees on my project in a little while :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

I'm using 08 ZX6r forks on my project. I believe the ZX's are 50mm for the top and bottom.

The bottom triple is 54mm in diameter. One other thing to consider besides matching the fork tube diameter is the fork spacing. I'm not positive, but a 600 class bike may have a narrower front end than a liter class bike :huh:

I'm not avoiding the question boys....Im just waiting to finish the stem....then I can tally all the time and raw material costs....as ar as fittin different forks...the Dia. is not a huge deal to make bigger or smaler....but I dought the spacing of the forks will be the same...in which case you would need make changes when mounting the wheel...brakes fender ect....

I will not be making different offsets for all applications....

these will bolt on with gsxr forks....and they are plentiful and cheap ....so hopefully that works for you ....

as soon as I get them done I will post a vid on youtube...and the adam can give you his opinion of them ...

stay tuned

What is the width, right to left, for the GSXR forks? I am also going to use ZX6R forks. Hopefully it is somewhere close.

Can't wait to see the finished product installed and get a review!!
