ZX10R forks

Tue Feb 18, 2014 11:03 am

Can anyone confirm whether the 04-05 forks are the same dimensions as 06-07 please ?

Have found an intriguing set of triple clamps to fit 04-05, looking to see if I can use them on my later bike. The two measurements are obviously the diameters at the upper and lower clamps. Even if I can get those numbers for an 04-05, I'll check myself.

Thanks in advance,
Brian

I'll pull out my verniers tomorrow morning some time and get you the diameter of my '04 forks just above each clamp.

The fork diameter at the top clamp is 50mm and 54 mm at the bottom clamp. I measured both above and below the clamps. This actually surprised me a little as I had never really thought about it before, but assumed that the fork tubes were the same diameter for their whole length.

The 04 05 ZX10R forks have a smaller axle on the front wheel than the 06 07 ZX10R

Thanks mate, much appreciated. As the lower clamp is where the suspension and braking forces are concentrated, its whay needs to be beefy, so the top part if the fork tubes and clamp can be smaller.

What will be happening to the removed set Brian?!?

At the moment I've got a set of Attack adjustable offset clamps, but I'm musing over lashing out and getting some magnesium ex-WSB clamps. Quite likely won't happen, just wanted to do the research first.

Cheers,
Brian
