Forks

Hello everyone, i have a 82 kz750n and was wondering what fork options are out there, can i ise newer forks or say forks for a kz550. Thanks in advance for any tips or advice

Why are you wanting new forks? You could rebuild yours & install new Progressive springs or maybe install some cartridge emulators from RaceTech or some other place that has them. Then you'd probably need to upgrade the shocks.

If you just want to swap the forks, the closest match will probably be the forks from a 750 shaft drive,
either a Spectre or Ltd Shaft. or maybe even a ZN700. then a 750H Ltd is probably the next closest match.
All of those models have a dual disk front brake & leading axle forks with the same fork tube diameter.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationFound these on ebay. Dirt cheap for what looks like a useable set of 750 forks.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to this, basically im wanting different forks because i want a lower stance over all, lower shocks and shorter forks, the bike itself is an 82 kz750n spectre shaft, and i want to lower it about an inch to an inch and a half, and as this is my first build im not exactly sure on what will work and what wont? Thank you again

You can probably get the inch you want up front by raising the forks in the triple clamp. Add an 18 inch wheel, and you should be golden.

You could replace the top spacers with shorter ones. some guys use 1" pvc pipe. or get thick walled aluminum tubing.
Progressive springs usually require longer spacers anyway, so it's not uncommon to change them.

As for the front wheel, the 82-2005 KZ1000-P police bikes had 18" wheels, but you may have to add spacers/washers to get things lined up properly. My neighbor put a KZ1000 Fr wheel of some sort on his 82 650-CSR, which required some fiddling to make it work. I don't recall exactly, but the speedo drive didn't seem to be oriented right. no big deal. fitment-wise, the 750 Spectre frame & forks are somewhat similar to the 650-csr.
