hey,
I am starting my K100RS 8V project. I am looking to replace the front end but I am wondering about the fork length.
A lot of people are converting to a GSXR or R1 front fork but these forks are a lot shorter then the stock ones.
I can't find anything about installing fork extensions on the GSXR or R1 forks. Does anybody have any info on the effect of installing these shorter forks?
the thing is that I have a triumph sprint ST 1050 rebuild fork in stock but if I install this then I'll be lowering the front end by 6 cm. Wondering if that is a problem.
I could lower this 6 cm by installing a step down top yoke. but I kinda like the aggresive stand of a lower front end.
thanks, M
