Identify USD forks?
 
My Vtr was previously altered before owning it and i am slowly learning all of the different "modifications" as i tear into her. I have upside forks on the hawk and they are showa brand. the sticker near the front wheel reads showa "MCF-A01" any ideas? I also need the diameter of the upper fork tubes to buy or make mounts for my dominator headlights.

Thanks

That's what they look like to me, too.

RC-51 it is. The caliper bracket is the give away.

MCF is the part code for the RC-51.

you guys are money. Anyone have off hand knowledge of upper fork tube diameter so i dont have to hunt down a micrometer

Here's a link to a little chart someone put together, but, like the webpage says, be careful because upper fork tubes can taper in and out.

50 same as CBR1000rr

NHSH 08-11-2015 09:40 PM

BTW, if you think of a nice alternative for higher handlebars, Ducati ST3 is also 50 and fit perfectly.

NHSH, how high is the rise on those bars, I may need some that are sub apex price.

Rebirth98 08-12-2015 05:24 PM

Again many thanks and I will look up those bars and check prices.

Check in for homemade rad scoops to hide rads. My not look the prettiest but uses my
Left over hot body fiberglass part and hides those unsightly rads. Plus might be my chance at a one off although someone's done it haha.

Joe, I measured the risers, I have 3 inches above the upper triple tree

smokinjoe73 08-13-2015 09:49 PM

NH, what year are they and why cant I find any on ebay? They look to be what I need for my front end swap.

That was from an 07, probably not too many of them, but keep an eye.

Found some for ya. Just a tad bit expensive Ducati ST3 clipons

I really like the look of those. Makes it look stock. If I didn't already buy some Danmoto clipons, I would try to find a cheap set of those from an ST3.
