Re: inverted forks
I think you'll find thats nigh on impossible... Anything can be made to fit but work will be required but keeping the std wheel & brakes...??? If thats a cost thing then I'm not sure you'll reach that goal...VT1000r wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 10:47 pm im looking to buy some inverted forks for my vtr but i want to keep the original front wheel rotors and calipers does anyone know of some forks that meat those requirements that will fit on the vtr i can buy new lines cables and triple tree just want to keep those things.
RWU Blade forks keep the origional wheel but upside down ones require different everything...
& why would you want to keep the std brakes ?
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...
Re: inverted forks
Oh the only reason I said that was because I thought that there were some that met those requirements but since there's not what are some inverted forks I could use and what all would I have to do to make them fit?MacV2 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 22, 2019 8:14 amI think you'll find thats nigh on impossible...

Use the search (top right corner) to look for > upside down forks
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Re: inverted forks
The 954 Honda Fireblade fits well, just the bars cause some issues. All relatively cheap to obtain as well

Re: inverted forks
954 and 929 go straight in. complete front with no mods to bike or front end except maybe moving the bars to clear fairing.
i put a kawasaki 7R front in one last year but it took some machining and a stem swap.

04-05 ZX-10R forks allow you to keep stock VTR front wheel, rotors and axle.

Re: inverted forks
You'll need CBR600RR (USD) triples and have the uppers opened up by 2 mm to accommodate the tubes. You'll also need customs wheels spacers (19.5 and 25.5 mm IIRC)...
