forks

I ordered one of these so that I can lower the rear of my bike about 6mm to get my geometry right for the higher profile Pirelli diablo Corsa II 55 I have on the rear. I have the Ohlins FGRT forks designed for the R1 so I have less room to move on the front that stock FZ1 forks. A standard 1...

Ii's some time now I have bought theese R1 2004 frontforks, a complete set, including RC brake callipers (4piston model), RC brakepump, T-piece. So I took on the project to finally install these on my FZ1, and to combine to have my brake lines replaced with steel braided lines Purpose of...

Well I'm new to FZ1's. I'm a grad student that builds custom bikes to help pay for my school. Anyways I came across a smoking deal on a 2011 FZ1 with 3k miles that was laid over. I've defided I'm going to build this one and keep it as my personal bike. I don't know what it is but even with the...

so, in the process of improving my genII, i am changing the handlebars & risers, and putting a R1 front end on (forks, calipers, rotors, axle). here's the issue: for this season, i only was planning on changing out the handlebars/risers, and leaving the forks, etc until next off-season...

Quick question, is the upper half of a bent USD fork repairable? There a pretty good deal on FleaBay for a pair of Ohlins forks for the Tuono. However...one is bent a bit. I know lowers can be repaired or replace reasonably, but what about the upper? I've done some Googling but I've only...

Hello, i recently crashed my FZ1 and am in need of a shift pedal, handle bars, front forks, and preferably silver front fairing but for the right price dont care bout color. If anyone is parting out a bike please contact me to see if we can work something out.

So guys, i made it just over 1 year before my SECOND motorcycle accident :( Last year I had a very low speed low side, a lady turning right on red cut me off and i laid the bike down... Unfortunately for me, i dislocated my left shoulder - but the bike however had very minimal damage (had to...

hi just wanted to say hello :) I've had loads of bikes including bandit 1200, aprillia tuono, vs trim 1000 amongst others and I am picking up my 2008 fz1 this weekend :) I've not ridden one and never bought a bike I haven't ridden before so I'm hoping they are good !! On another note some...

Anyone tried this? I can get a set of forks for $100 they need a rebuild but that's easy enough. They are the same diameter and length. They are obviously a better choice than fz forks. I didn't rip my fz apart yet but it looks like the axle is the same size. I'd have to get zx10 brake...

Have been running LEDs in conjunction with my HIDs for near on 2 years now and they've stood the test of time. So, thought they deserved a review. They are available on Ebay and produced in India. I know some have had problems with these lights but they tend to run theirs on the lower leg of the...

Hey All, Well - it happened. Had a high-side (ouch - yes it hurt! Me, the bike and my pride) and ended up in a (thankfully) muddy ditch...me about 20 feet further up the ditch than my poor bike. thankfully also, it wasn't that fast. All s well with me, a little banged up but no worse for wear...

I've looked at it and everything "seems" ok. The forks were bent low but the tripple tree is ok. The tire broke the radiator cover and that broke the radiator. Like I said, the neck on the frame doesn't seem to have bent, but I know that doesn't mean it didn't. Its 400 bucks and has less than...
