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
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
Mood: About to start re-build and cafe racer project
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.
