That's if you want rwu forks.

If so, I have lower yoke to suit selling on Ebay atm, but could consider an offer...

929/954 USD's are a different kettle of fish, the six spoke wheel they need is different, too.

There's a good sticky on the superhawk forum about these, what parts you need, how to grind lockstops etc.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Tony, was thinking if sticking with Rwu's to be honest.
Is there any specific model of blade I need to look at fore yokes?
Mainly been looking at rrv bits

what's the difference ?
i'll rephrase that, can I mix say RRP forks with RRX yokes or any combination?
or RRV forks with RRT yokes

the 94-97 have compression dampening and better rebound dampening and are lighter than the 92-93 .
the 92-93 only have rebound dampening just like the standard vtr forks .
both the 92 and the 94 forks are 45mm .
you will need to fit risers or renthals bars as the blade clipons will hit the fairing .

They are all 45mm, and I think the comp adjustement came in 95...... though I could be wrong (wouldn't be the first time). The 98 and 99 version have the caliper mounts set up for 310mm rotors, so you should stay away from those (unless you want a hole bunch of issues to deal with). Also the center-to-center spacing (triples) is different on the 98-99s also (214mm vs 204 on others, 204 being same as VTR)
