ZXR & ZX9 front ends

Thu Apr 21, 2016 12:34 pm

Quick question: are the ZXR750 L and ZX9B front ends exactly the same inc triples???

Are the shocks the same?

No expert but I believe the B model 9 forks are longer that the ZXR.
Shock also has a built in external reservoir I think.
Are you looking to upgrade or just replace worn out parts?

The 9 forks are around 50mm longer than the 750L & the inner & outer tubes are heavier wall thickness. The B1 9s had the same caliper mounts as the 750Ls but B2 & 3s had the 90mm caliper spacing for the 6 pot Toki's, The 9 fork springs are stiffer too.
The triples are interchangeable but not sure if the offsets are the same.

Thanks for that, such depth of knowledge is what makes forums like this so valuable!

i asked because:

1/ I have a ZX9 front end to sell and wondered if it is limited to those only or ZXR use aswell

2/ If my 900 motor won't fit the braced M frame then I have a stock L frame I might put it in, and could use the ZX9 front end to build a bike with.

If you get stuck I think I have a set of L forks and triples in the garage.
