Hey guys

I've got an FZR600r 1994 model.

The fork seals need replacing, but it looks like the stanchions are clean so I think the seals are just perished. So I'm considering keeping the forks and replacing the springs with progressive items.

Or

Alternatively fit another pair of forks that are a bit more modern.

Is there a table of what other front ends fit the FZR600? and what should I look for as a modern replacement, early R6 forks perhaps?

don't put progressives in, they are a compromise. go with linear from racetech and get the correct rate for your weight.

 

get the ride sag set and try different weight fork oil and you won't be far off an r6 (unless your a BSB rider or such)

You can get cartridge emulators too if your feeling flush

 

Did the above to my FZ600 and it rides great, followed an R1 over the mountain on the twisties
