    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hello
Several years fit but the easier ones to put on are the ones that still use the tapered roller head bearings. 1995 and older 750 and 1998 GSXR1100. You could also use Bandit forks but they are not inverted. Also, said forks still have a speedo drive so they work fine with the stock speedo. Later ones were electronic. The inverts started in 1991 and I think in '93 or '94, had the 6-piston calipers.
None had bolt on tubular bars. Only clippie's.
I think that's all.

Mid '90's forks are a better match for the most part. By then the Gixxers were getting porky by GSX-R standa0rds. About 450 lbs dry IIRC. Here's my 700 with '95 750 forks with CBR9554RR triples for a little extra length. The front wheel is from an '88 750 as are the calipers. Rotors are PFM.
