WTB RC51 SP1 Forks/front end
Looking for long forks on a new project. A CB1100F '85 are getting a total revamp and as it turns out SP1 forks are some of the longest USD forks out there. Kawa ZX9R is an alternative but I like the options the SP1 forks give me.
Looking for forks and tipples right now and optionally the calipers. Wheel will have to wait as I must figure out my options. Want matching rear and front wheels. |
Good luck with the RC51 front end, very hard to find these days, you may as well go for the CBR1000RR up to 2007 models, also most common swap by now.
Search on this forum "front end swap", plenty of good helpful info about this |
I agree, very much unobtanium and cbr front ends are plentiful. They are a quick easy bolt up.

Thank you for your well ment advice.
I already have CBR1k '06 forks on my VTR. That's no problem. But the CB1100F forks are much longer than VTR and I need all the length I can find when I go for USD. That's why I am looking for the SP1 forks. But I got options, the sp1 forks are available (for a price) and I can always get a pair of ZX9R forks. Just wanted to check availability here. |
So, wait, you want longer forks, you need longer forks, or you are trying not to use longer forks?
Clearly you don't like your cbr1k units. Cant quite figure the rest. |
Per the OP's last post he has a VTR with 2006 CBR1000 forks on it. Seems happy with them. Is working on a new project, a 1985 CB1100F, it has longer forks than the VTR or CBR1000 and he needs the length. That's what I read anyway.

Hmm, ok but are the rc forks any longer than the cbr's?

I know my english isn't that good but I had no idea it was as bad as the rest here suggest. :D |
