thundercat forks

[caretaker]

can a thundercat front end be retrofitted to a gen 1 600? they look similar in the haynes manual but the YZF ones have more adjustment

I just read in an old post that the Thundercat forks are 50-60mm longer.

i assume though that i could slide the forks up thru the yokes to make up for the extra length. i want to fit a jack up kit anyway so it might even out.

[richfzs]

Are they not a different diameter?

41MM. i assume the fazer is the same

Hi
I toyed with this mod and I think the Thundercat clip-on bars will fit above the top yoke of the Fazer.
where the extra length of the fork leg protrudes though.

Ha ha 


My bike's jacked up by 45mm, but i wouldn't expect wonders if i were you!


It leans quite a bit on the side stand, but i'm 6ft tall and it just feels like an 'okay' riding position to me!

thanks for all the advice, especially the yuku stuff.

Thundercat is notoriously soft on the front anyway (had a 97) so all the adjustment they offer isnt gonna make a world of difference...
