Title: 1999 fazer 600 forks
Post by: bikenut07 on 14 October 2011, 06:06:32 pm

Hi all, quick question, does anyone know if the forks from a 2002 fazer would fit my 1999 fazer?
Cheers Iain

Yes, and  better too 'cos they'll have the preload adjusters the 98/99 bikes lacked

Cut 11mm off the spacer tubes and away you go

not sure if i would want to be the one to test that theory
but if you have some spare spacers then its worth a shot
