GSXR Srad USD forks
Anybody know if the front spindle from a 1995 SRAD 750 model USD fork will fit the earlier 1991 slingshot 750 USD fork. Both fork leg bottoms look very similar online
I know the fork leg diameters are the same at 50mm (top) & 54mm (bottom) and I know that the SRAD had a different top bearing to the slingshot. But what about the wheel spindles?

Nope. M has threads in fork bottom, SRAD has threaded spacer and is chunkier hollow section axle. 99% on that.

Re: GSXR Srad USD forks
Ta YC, maybe the upper fork legs are the same. I'll have to check the part numbers.
Its one upper that I need, but I haven't seen any on evilbay. So I was looking at a set of forks and then sell my pair. But if SRAD ones are different, then time to look for the fork leg upper

Re: GSXR Srad USD forks
Maybe they fit, maybe they don't. Cartridge and cap are definately different, not sure whether they are same thread pitch though.
I could measure pitch on cap of 99 SRAD for you, but guess you could do this on your... I would just buy SRAD part and avoid messing around. Maybe find some SRAD ones with knackered chrome?

Re: GSXR Srad USD forks
Srad forks are a lot shorter than old GSXR ones.
