forks

i have COO triple trees with a gsxr 1000 k2 complete front end. today as i was jerking with my bike i noticed something that i didn't think was apropriate. as i was playing with with my brake lever at speed 40 km/h i noticed a oscillation on my forks. when i say i was playing with my lever i...

This max was at my local mechanic today. Anyone know what type of forks these are? Sort of look like something usually on an XV650. Definitely like the look of them to go with the classic cruiser look

has anyone tried lowering the gen II front forks internally by cutting the spacers? in my parts diagram i only see a top spacer that rides on a spring seat on top off the spring was wandering if cutting this spacer would lower the front?? if anyone's tried it let me know how it worked...

Ok so the main reason for this post.. I need to replace my chrome fork uppers. I am riding a 93. i believe that i also may need to replace my triple as its now torque. for the reasoning... Went on a ride this weekend, While on my way home from this weekend ride, I was going through the...

Would anyone happen to know the length and weight of a front fork assembly for an 85-92 Max? One tube is fine - I can multiply by 2 :) I have a pair for sale I'm putting on fleaBay and would like to enter relevant data for shipping estimates. Thanks!

I saw sean's video and noticed he uses powersteering fluid. Has anyone tried redline synthetic power steering fluid in theirs? I bought some fork oil from my stealer but would rather use Redline. THanks, Sid

I promised Dave I'd post an update here, since I am installing my progressive springs and replace the 8yr old oil with 20wt. My kit also includes a one inch drop and no instructions at all on setting the spacers, should be fun to figure out. Anyway, mark your calendars, actually got both of my...

I have a set of 99 gsxr 750 forks and was going to change them out for either busa forks or gsxr 1000 forks...Does anyone know which forks will fit in my trees???Also which fork tubes will fit in the gsxr 750 rim and caliper I already have?I already have the nice galf rotors and calipers and...

First off this is my first post after reading many threads on this board and would like to thank everyone for there knowledge and information that i have learned. Owning a vmax wouldnt be as easy with out the information on this board. I have a question on the front forks on my vmax. Im almost...

If I've read correctly, I can replace the standard '88 forks with something post-'92 if I replace both triples and the calipers as well, yes? Will the standard wheel from an '88 still work? (Digital speedo, so the speedo drive isn't an issue)

metal struts for the rear shocks What size of struts in place of the shocks could be used at the lowest point for the vmax before you would run into problems? Thanks.

ok got a little problem lookin for a fix got an R1 fork 99 with a stock vmax front wheel how do i get a workin mecanical speedo with this set up found a kit at cycle one but lookin for a little less expensive if possible

I have inherited a 1985 Vmax from my cousin which needs work, some cosmetic and some mechanical. My first major issue is what to do with the front end. Prior to my owning this the bike the forks were straightened but I see one of the tubes has radial cracks in the chrome plating. My cheapest...

:ummm: Alright guys, My never ending thirst for knowledge of stuff I dont REALLY need to do to my bike has led me here.... I want street bike inverted forks,what do you know? I want as much info as I can be fed.Such as: -What is the closest match to stock as far as measurements? -Will I need...

ok my personal project for the next few weeks is getting these front forks to hold air, has anyone done this personally that knows the trick? mine hold air for about 2 hours, i used a valve stem tool and that fixed the leaks(well, the big ones) but it still just doesnt last. I dont see air...

So all this information is on here (or else i never would have been able to do this job), but I thought it'd be useful to collect it all in a single post. If anyone has done this with the newer forks, perhaps you could post a pic of anything that has to be done differently. I'm assuming that...

OK so I gather than the 97-or-so and up Vmax has wider forks. Does this mean that the whole fork set up is wider, just the shiny upper tubes are wider, or just the bottom tube "sleeves" (excuse my poor terminology - still learnin) are wider? Will a newer model shiny upper fork tube fit into...

Ive been thinking of putting "clip on" handle bars on my Max so I lean over it a bit more,Get a little more use out of my wind screen and look a little less rigid while riding.I dont want to spend $150 buying new ones so does ANYONE know what modern clip on bars will fit the stock fork diameter...

Hey folks: I just received what Pinwall Cycles said was forks and triple trees from a "well-running 2006 VMax," but it still has the cross-inner fork tubes air inflation system that my 1989 forks have, and my triple trees from my 1989 Max fit perfectly (nice and snug, as they should.) I...

getting ready to dissassemble my forks on my 86 to replace all seals and install progressive springs and I'm not sure of the size of the allen head cap screw at the bottom end of the forks(i think it's an allen head),I let a friend borrow my manual so I can't look it up right now.My bikes down @...
