Default 05 06 GSXR 1000 Upper triple clamp fit 08 GSXR 600 forks?

Would a 05/06 gsx-r 1000 upper triple clamp fit forks from a 08 GSX-R 600?


Regards

If the stem diameter, fastening method, fork-tube diameter and bore-angle are all the same - then yes. If not; no.

The stems are all interchangable, just measure the diameter of both fork tubes or look it up. Should fit, without checking?

Without checking? Goin' out on a limb there, MOKE.

All the pre-HESD Honda sportbikes interchange (between fork sizes) since the late-80s, but not all the later do.

I couldn't say on the Suzi's. Without checking..........

Alright, I checked it does fit, when your talking Suzuki or any other Japanese manufacture they never build a new part unless they have to. The lower triple would be a different story.

As long as you smother the forks with Kramp Easy-Lube they will fit. It's amazing what you can fit into a tight hole when Kramp Easy Lube is used.
