Title: K100 upside down front fork project. NEED HELP.
Post by: Blackened6969 on March 23, 2018, 09:41:15 AM

Any pointers in fitting upside down forks to a k100,which you would recommend,had suzuki hayabusa in mind,the complete front end wheel brakes etc.
I'm aware that I will need to change bearings and stem.wanted to know about the off set in the different triples and whether the new front end would clear the petrol tank.

Hi Blackened. I’m doing a front end swap on my K100RS to a 06/07 Gsxr600/750 front end. As recommended by Mike Flores, I went with a new triple clamp setup from Cognito Moto. It came with the stem I need and I was able to get the tapered bearings from them too. Here’s what it looks like (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180323/8a2781938fd08c4ad1eb8eb2ddd0ac89.jpg)

I'm doing a GSXR 1000 (05'-06) fork. Also got the Cognito stem, but making my own upper and lower clamps.  :2thumbup:

I'm using the Cognito stem and triple tree set. My forks are from a 2015 GSXR 1000.

Hi Mauraders
So was this a simple bolt on job? All the bearings and everything needed to fit the forks correctly? Im thinking of using GSXR forks so am looking at best options to fit.

Many Thanks
