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. |
Quote:
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??? Chris:burn: |
