USD Fork Length for Generation 2 FZ1 Fazer please? - Ruby Racing - 28-01-13
Can anyone tell me the fork length for a Generation 2 FZ1 Fazer please? That's the one with USD forks and measured from the flats of the fork top (ignoring the preload adjuster) to roughly centre of the wheel axle. Preferably with the bike weight on the wheels without rider.
Are the forks adjustable for compression and rebound damping?
Thanks.

Just measured 730mm from the top cap to the centre of the wheel spindle. Mine is a 2010 on its sidestand with no rider if that's any help

Sorry, I forgot. Its adjustable for preload, compression and rebound all built in to the fork top caps.hope this helps.

Many thanks Stevierst.
Looking to fit something different to a 1999 FZS600 and want them to be close to the OE length of approx 750mm so I don't lose ground clearance. That sounds like it would work.
Is there much of the fork above the top of the upper triple clamp?

Got mine flush atm, not had the bike long, but it feels about as neutral steering as my fzs600. Further testing/fettling due this summer

Would you happen to know the front and rear axle diameters too?
