900rr fork swap
Ok just got a set of forks from Partsman. He did a great job and the price was fair. However he say's these are 1994 forks but they do have compression dampening ajusters on the lower fork leg.
I've searched the microfiche from 94-97 and none of them show compression dampning at all on the fork legs? What year are these?
Second question the VTWO Fireblade Fork Upgrade says to use the 900 axle and spacers, is this true.
Third question, Partsman sent me the brake calipers and brakelines, can I use the calipers with the stock VTR wheel?
Fourth question, I also came across 320mm Galfer rotors what do I need to make them work?

Spindle
Here are the items needed for the 900rr swap. Pulled this from the Shaun Pallisters VTWO Firestorm site.
96/97 Forks
96/97 Triple Clamps
96/97 Wheel Spindle
96/97 Wheel Spacers
Spondon Clipons for blade forks in VTR (5 degree drop) or V.3 Riser Clipons (the 2.25" rise would probably work) from Two Brothers
Replacement mudguard (Triumph T955 fits and is much cheaper than the blade version)
Mudguard fitting kit (Triumph kit £12 Honda kit £60)
LH Bargrip
It does look like you need the axle and spacers from the 900...Here's item number for one I found on Ebay...280662397137. I hope this helps. G
