954 Forks > UPDATE NOW WITH 954 BARS :)
Fitted the front forks and fender other day
and my stuff has now been released form Customs so going to pick up the top clamp and callipers tomorrow before work
here's how the USD's look minus the top yoke
also a bit pissed off had a full spare front fairing and was planing to sell the right hand side either the 'teal' one off my bike or the metallic purple, silver and gold number from the one I bought ..... but sod's law some wombles had been up in the shed and even though it survived delivery to my home address by a bunch of lads and a delivery van its managed to get broken some how in a big cardboard box with loads of bubble wrap thrown in for good measure. sh1t!

Re: 954 Forks
Cant wait to fit the new calipers!
Look at the size of those discs cant wait to slam the anchors on!
Not done bad on those wheels, got the front and rear and disc's for 200 quid
Sold the Disc's for 130quid plus 30 quid postage, and the rear has a bid on ebay and the old storm front wheel has a bid too,
Found a local man to do they spray job too, had a look at some of his bikes he's done and there amazing.
Not sure what to go for, a race scheeme looks dated very quickley, i see the movistar bike's and they look well outdated compared to a blade of the same year in standard colours
think ill look a tw@ with a repsol rep too

Re: 954 Forks
Was also sipprised how much lighter the firbalde stuff was than the firestorm, the firestorm forks feel so heavy incompaison to these and these are much thicker.
Hopefully wont be here much longer, but every b8stard place I enquire about has been let, hard finding a decent one with a garage.

Re: 954 Forks
what discs are those, i need bigger discs and calipers
99 VTR1000 - Scotoiler - Datatool Indicator - Meta Alarm - Kappa Luggage
Re: 954 Forks
Those are the 330mm discs from a CBR954 RR3
They will fit a CBR 929 and a 954 wheel and also the SP1/SP2 and the CBR1000 RR4 to RR7 wheels, I'm using a CBR954 wheel got them cheap and the 954 wheel is lighter than the 929 wheel
the callipers in the pic are storm ones but they don't fit, picking up a pair of 954 calipers either Friday or Saturday from parcel force
The storms might fit if you did a bit of grinding with a dermal thing but not sure how well they would cover the disc area.

Re: 954 Forks
Really interested in this, Ive managed to find a 2004 blade for £300 minus engine, pipes and bodywork, full running gear still on it, hopefully the guy will be back in touch soon!
Anyway from what Ive read, Id use the whole front end, yes?
Im assuming ill need blade headstock bearings?
Are the 954 and 929 top yokes the same, with the gull wing step down?
The one thing i havent found a definite answer on yet though is which bars to use whilst keeping all geometry the same, fork lenght etc?
Which ones you planning on using?

Re: 954 Forks
I will be using 954 bars when they turn up, can't get full lock with them, but it's not very often I do a 3 point turn. Come mot time I'll just take the sidepanels off and say I'm some kind of wanabe steetfighter as you need stop to stop to pass an mot.
The cbr1000 headstocks clamps yokes trees what ever you wana call it is wider than the 954's and the 1000rr forks are a wider diameter than the 954/929 so you can't use the 1000rr forks with 954 yokes to the best of my knoledge.

Re: 954 Forks

worth a thought before you bolt it all up

Re: 954 Forks
Sorry, that came across wrong when I said blade front end, its an RR3 954, no the thou! lol
Do the stock 954 bars work, hows the riding position gonna be compared to stock with them, with them clamped under the yokes and all?
Hmmm wonder if the swinger fill fit too! lol

i would have a measure up and see if these do the trick http://www.mandp.co.uk/productinfo.aspx ... er3url=WRP
£160 isnt to bad if you ask me, fully adjustable to, you can get 70mm high version or 35mm medium.
more info on them here

Re: 954 Forks
Browsing on the Superhawk forum, most people seem to go for a 3.5" riser with 929/954 setup to get the same bar setup as stock!
Hmmmm, I feel the TIG welder coming out of retirement here! lol
