wondering about forks

[Dad2g5]

Does anybody know what crotch rocket fork would fit my 79 XS11 standard. An inverted one would be pretty cool.

Not sure who posted this list.
May have been Chop

While doing research on my Final Drive Mod, I ran into info I decided to keep for future reference and share with my fellow xsives. These bikes all have 37mm dia. forks.

Hey MRO,

That's a nice list, but they are all the old style bikes like the 11. He was talking about putting newer inverted forks, which I thought were larger upper tubes?

I thought Auxtian had done an inverted forks mod, but don't remember what year/model he used? Perhaps he'll see this thread and chime in, or Dad2g5 could do a search using his username and forks!?

hmm......
Don't really know (newest bike I've ever owned is an 81 special)
but would think 85 to 89's would have a little better tech?

Hi Guys,

I have some info on my modern forks on the UK site; My bike is fitted with a front-end from an FZR1000 EXUP; I don't know if that bike came to the U.S.? Other bikes over here have XJR 12/13 forks.

I believe that the XS11 uses the same bearing as the GSXR Suzuki range, which may help.
