K1 1990 front forks: are they they same as K100RS 1990?
« on: November 22, 2017, 06:09:12 AM »
Hi There, I am the proud owner of a 1990 K1, she needs some work and its all in progress. However I noticed the forks are corroded and leaking fluid, I have seen a pair of K100 forks for sale in good condition, are they the same? Both models are 16v ABS. Appreciate your help! Thanks

According the Max's parts catalog, they should be the same. From what I saw, all 16v Black forks are the same, with the exception being the Special Editions that may have Chromed forks.

all 16v Black forks are the same,

No, early models have traditional internals and later model have cartridges.
