Sorry to do this, but I need some advice about a dirty VTR
Hi folks, a mate of mine has a VTR Firestorm that has knackered forks. He has seen the fork swap on my SV and now craves a set of USDs for his bike. Obviously (yeah right!) he asked me for advice, but I have no clue. The last Honda I had was the 125 I took my test on a million years ago.
Anyway, do any of you know what USD forks fit on a poopy old Honda VTR? I was wondering about Fireblade with modern brakes, but I have no idea if it would fit. I found a VTR forum which seems a bit vague on the subject, so I was wondering if any of you maniacs would have a clue? It can't be that hard can it? At the worst maybe a custom top yoke? However a full swap would be preferred. :smt017 Hugs from this manky old bird who barely manages to ride anymore. :smt081 |

howdoo long time.
cant help with the exact swap but you can press out the stem and insert it into the new lower clamps. might need a bit of machining on both new clamps . so basically you can use any front end you like. depends on how far gone the old forks are it might be worth just revamping them with decent internals/springs to suit weight. |

Well, he changed his mind and now just wants the forks serviced. Thanks all who offered opinion. :rabbit:
