Non USD fork swaps

Is there an affordable 80 kz1000 ltd fork swap out there that retains much of the stock look but just improves the handling etc?

Dont like the usd look

Yes, I am using the forks from a YZF600r. They are longer then the stock KZ1000 B4 forks, they are cartridge forks, they are made for a 17mm. axle (the same as your KZ), they are cheep (lots of dead YZF's out there) and Race-Tech makes all the parts you will need to set them up for your KZ.




Good luck and please let us know what you use.

What trees did you use?

I made them. I used the stem from an 82 KZ1000, setup the CL's at 200mm. ( same as a stock YZF, so I could use the YZF wheel if I want later on) and 55mm. offset so it will not stear like a truck. Most folks just use modern triples but thats too little offset.
