so, i HATE my dead fork set up...very vague with no feel...

so i was thinking..."cant i just swap out the forks and put another model in?.." or is there another option?\

anyone know what forks i can put in? or what else is suggested (do i get the internals done?)...

GSXR thou 05 forks, but you will have to mill out the bottom triple tree 1mm, any good engineering shop could do it, same as the conversion I did on the Z750.
The internals of those forks are screwed ... good stuff in 1 leg & crap in the other from memory Check with Zeno & see what he thinks about a rebuild

cool thanks, will try Zeno...i've also heard the ZX6 forks fit...anyone know about this?

Ali?

search function, and ask Phil.

i think he has zx6r fork going in.

you can get the z1000 fors rebuilt to work properly. or as Rob said, Gixxer forks are cheap and easy to find.

I've highlighted the thread with the Zeno camp.......I'm sure Jimmy will have some advice when he logs on

FYI, I have a set of gixxer K5 600/750 forks in the garage. Also have some K6 gixxer 750, and K8 busa front. Getting my collection up. They are all stock by the way.
Oh, and if you wanted to put a 1098 swinger in the back of the Z, lemme know, got 1 of those aswell

Yeah, wife collects shoes and handbags... i collect bike parts. Got plans down the track to butcher/frankenstein/mechanical surgery a bike together. Make a monster like no other.
Got a few scrappy drawings on paper (i struggle to draw stick figures) on a freak bike. Single swingers on front and back, and even plans for a twin spar hub center steer with. Got heaps of ideas. I draw at night when i can't sleep.

Sorry for hijacking thread

I got 636 fronts in my 03 Z1000 not sure if anything was altered though, i bought the bike with them in.

Got a photo of the front end in Chitchats? Curious how it looks. What sort of top triple is installed??

636 straight in between '03 and the present, a couple of spacers and 636 calipers. Away you go but I get first dibs on the next set farkers

03-04 forks bolt straight into the Z trple clamps, you'll need longer caliper bolts and 10mm spacers, 00-02 zx6 wheel spacers and the the Z front guard fit straight on. You will also need brake lines 75mm longer then stock

05-06 forks you wont need the brake spacers and longer caliper bolts but you will need the wheel spacers and a new front guard (off a 10 or 6 I believe )

And yes, I have a 04 front end nearly ready to go in - still waiting on some parts to arrive.





Rear is sorted but
