thundercat forks - caretaker - 11-07-12
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
Re: thundercat forks - darrsi - 11-07-12
I just read in an old post that the Thundercat forks are 50-60mm longer.

Re: thundercat forks - caretaker - 11-07-12
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.
Re: thundercat forks - richfzs - 11-07-12
Are they not a different diameter?
Re: thundercat forks - caretaker - 11-07-12
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 :lol
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!
Re: thundercat forks - caretaker - 12-07-12
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...
Re: thundercat forks - caretaker - 18-07-12
i shall stick with wot i've got then!
