749/999 forks to 916
 

Hi
Does anyone know if i can fit 749/999 Ohlins forks to my 916, and if so, what would i need.

you just need the correct sized yokes to go with the forks the 999 ones will fit but obviously look different to say a later 748R that would then look like the 916 ones.......

the mudguard mounts are different and you also need to consider what your doing with your brakes.......offset and calliper mount........

As Andy says, yes they will fit with a few considerations.
Main thing will be the 56mm bottom Yoke.
Are you going with axial or radial caliper mount forks.
Disc offset i'm fairly sure is different, not a real problem if using axial calipers and the 916 wheel and discs but you will need 5mm spacers between the Calipers and the fork legs

ive actually got a 53 56 748r ohlins top and bottom yoke set sitting in my garage........

Andy your probably going to get a few PMs, emails etc now

well i kept them because of the ltd plaque on the top yoke.........when i fitted 30mm offset mag ones but hey im mercenary enough to sell..do you think they are rare then......he hee

Well more and more 748/916/996 owners are going to Ohlins forks these days especially for their trackbikes, so not so much rare as greater demand

So basically am i right in thinking that if i were to get a set of forks complete with yoke and bottom clamp/stem i'd be half way there. I've just bought a pair of new 65mm calipers (not radial) so i'd just need to do a bit of engineering to put it all together.

yep, a few alloy spacers and your nearly home

I could be talking rubbish, but are the 749/999 forks a different length to 748/916 ones???
