1999 fazer 600 forks - bikenut07 - 14-10-11
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

and probably a different spring coil pattern or whatever you would call it

Cut 11mm off the spacer tubes and away you go
