These are 41mm forks which i`ve been told by my garage are the same diameter on the storm. Has anyone fit these to there bike????

[tony.mon]

Your garage needs to be changed to one that can measure things properly.

41mm may be the stanchion size on both, but as these are USD they won't fit your yokes, wheel, mudguard, brake calipers etc.
The conversion can be done, but it's hardly a straight swap.
name and shame, please, so that other folks can avoid these idiots.

I might of misunderstood them then,I know 954 blade forks are a common swap but have no idea if i need anything else......

[macdee]

to change to usd forks its going to cost you about £500
you could send your forks to Roger Ditchfield (member)and let him have his way with them
any one that has had them rogered thinks there great

The 954 front needs the yokes, wheel, forks, mudguard, discs & calipers. The bottom yoke needs the lockstops reprofiled and the rads need brackets to move them back about 10mm. There's a good few posts on here from various folk who have done the mod. I like mine!

I`ll have a look on here then to see what`s involved,thanks for all the info Gents

Nice on Kev,i`m no good at mechanics so it`ll be going to a garage to have it done.That will give them good tips

On the other hand having the standard ones done by Roger will cost you £275.

true but i`m after better brakes as well,there scary as standard....

[mik_str]

Some have fit R1 forks onto the VTR int he past. I recall one German fellow who was a member of the Superhawkforum who did so..... Not sure how involved it is, however.......

You could always fit cbr600 f4i calipers and master cylinder. These give a big improvement.

[Kev L]

I like the look of them too -

very chunky kev, the forks are meaty as well.........

My track bike has 1998 cbr900rr forks on you need the top and bottom yolks and to machine two spacers for the discs so they fit i have all so put
stiffer springs in as i found the forks sag a little to much.
