Is K3 forks\front end same as K5 ?
I have a K5 650. I need a new set of forks. Can anyone confirm for me that the K3 forks\front end is the same as the K5?
I'm pretty sure K4\5\6\7 are all the same but I'm aware there were some differences between the K3 and later Pointys, thought I didn't think the front end was one of them. |

yea pretty sure they are the same, if you want "s" forks check the showa sticker colour on the inside of the fork legs matches yours, the "n" forks are softer. one types blue and the others red cant remember which tho.

Thankyou for that advice. I'd not thought about the style of the donor bike (all SV's are faired aren't they )
I think I can see the sticker in the pictures, if so it looks red. Though I've no idea what that means either. |

I 'think' the forks are from an 'S' - which suits me.
So the main issue is if they fit - and it's looking good so far. |
