Default Is a 2002 zzr front end any good on a curvy?

I can get my hands on a good zzr front end. Can these go on a curvy?

Cheers, Electro.

Which ZZR? IIRC there are at least 5 (600,1100,1200 plus different versions)

I'd say not worth it. while it will be better hardly a massive improvement to justify the time and expense.

No idea, find out the length, spring rate and the end types.

IMHO a re-sprung SV front end would be better than a ZZR front.

The only way a ZZR front end would benefit a curvy would be if you got the lights off a 1400, Blackpool illuminations instead of the weedy excuse for lamps!

But it wouldn't work....so ner

rear shock is rubbish. i binned mine and bought a Hagon (I own a ZZR600). front forks are better than on the SV but still only a little bit. Heavier too.
