Gk76 fork question??
Does anyone know what other forks fit the gk76?
I've heard the rgv usd's do. What about the gsxr 750 forks?
Thanks

Re: Gk76 fork question??
Hi J,
Im not sure how close the spring rate and damping on the RGV's are but they are very close and use the same wheel, discs and calipers, so fit. The 750 will have the same yoke mount diamiters but i do not know about the lenght and im sure the 750 had 310mm discs. What year 750 are they? i have a list of disc sizes, so can check.

what's your thoughts about swapping the internals from gsxr forks to the rgvs.
So from what your saying thr rgv forks should fit straight in and use the same wheels and discs?
I was looking at forks from the srad and model before. They look similar.

Re: Gk76 fork question??
Im not 100% to give you an answer regarding the rgv, but they share a lot of parts. The 750 Srad is showing 320mm discs on my list so you will/would have to start swoppin wheels and discs.

Re: Gk76 fork question??
I have now picked up a pair of forks from a member on here.
My next thought is swaping over the SP internals to the standard forks.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Re: Gk76 fork question??
the tubes unscrew from the bottoms but need a little heat to undo
