fork swap

started doing my fork swap today. nocked it up. and let me tell you i love it.

now alls i have to figure out is the bearings. does any one know what bearings are needed (by number) to mount a usd gsxr fork (2001) to my '78 kz 650

really need some help here, looks like i just need bearings

thanks!!!!!

i went to the pro-flo site for bearing cross references.

some one tell me i am reading this correct, but the kz650-b bearing inside is the same as the 2001 gsxr inner diameter?

if this is correct, i should beable to buy the 650 bearing kit, and fit the bearings onto the gixer steering stem.

correct?:huh:

need some help here, PLEASE!!!!!

If I'm not mistaken that might be the case.

I have a Gixxer fork setup that I was gonna use and I seem to remember it being VEEEERY close to fitting when I bolted it in.

I glommed a copy of head bearing size with bike models underneath a while back from the SOHC4 forums and posted it here .
It goes through 2001 and should have your GSXR.

i think i may just go for it. i will measure first. but man i do think it will work.

if any one else has done this swap, please feel free to let me know.

thanks you guys.
