LONGest USD forks- help make a resource PLZ was created by School Teacher
I have already done a conversion with USD forks but used 2001 gsxr 1000 forks and they are pretty short but they work for what the bike is. I was wanting to know if anyone knows the longest or the lengths of the USD forks out there.

I thought i heard somewhere the zx7 where the longest? anyway please help or if you have done a USD conversion if you could state the bike it came off of and give the measurement frome the center of axle to the top-most edge the triple clamp can go. this could be a resource. i will put it into a chart for future use?

Thanks

1995 GSXR 750 forks 28.75" and 2004 zx-10r forks 27.5". The GSXR should be the same from 92-95. The zx-10r is the same for 04 and 05. One thing that could make the difference is the thickness of the top clamp. If there is a greater thickness from the center pivot at the bottom to the outer clamps at the top, then the effective length is shorter.

After much searching i found that Kawa Zx9r-B model usd's are the longest and only 1 inch shorter than stock Z. These are what i have used on my last project (see pic)
Also the early Yamaha yzf750ru forks with the six pot calipers will do the job.
