blade forks

Post by teagie »

hi as a newb to this bike is it true that the blade forks fit straight on this bike without altering the the yolks ?

You can put on 96/97 blade forks but with CBR yokes, spacers, axle etc.
You can do same with 954 forks and yokes, but it will be way more tricky and will require lots of small adjustements and changes.

Storm got 41 mm forks...
For comparison - same size with Hornet 600, CBR600 PC25, etc.
Here is details on swapping forks for 96/97 blade
