Gsxr 1000 u2 forks on k3 650 advice needed
 

I'm looking to fit these forks but can't find any info on these forks going on a 650 pointy.

Do I need different yokes or bearings?
How much shorter are the forks?
And what clip ons do I need to clear the fairing?

stock bearings
about an inch, doesn't harm the handling
tl1000s ones

Perfect can i make an sv wheel fit these forks?

Not really, more hassle than it's worth.

Just seen eBay listings is the tl clip ons are 52mm yet I was led to believe the gsxr 1000 k2 are 50mm?

My friend is happy to spacers but was asking what is the size of the spindles as he said I might need to find different size bearings

Re: Gsxr 1000 u2 forks on k3 650 advice needed
 

Spindle is much bigger, 25mm vs 17

you will need the complete front end. i have done exactly the same front end on my last bike.

the sv yokes wont fit, the sv front wheel wont fit unless you make a set of bushes, the sv mudguard wont fit.

would i use those forks again?

NO. why? as the gold coating wears off rather quickly. they are a pain to get spares as the callipers are saught after (as they need constant attention unless you get the 4 pots).

forks are roughly 20mm shorter including the 6mm threw the top yoke.

plus point, they do look the dogs doodaz.

Cheers are the forks 50 or 52mm as in looking for a set of clip ons.

What sort of rise do I need to clear the fairing
