[joe748]

does anyone know if ohlins forks and shock of a 600 fazer will fit a 916?

my mate has been offered them cheap from a friend of his and was wanting to know if they would fit his 916.

cheers,
joe.

Hmm anything will fit with work but to change the front forks for those from a fazer you'ld probably have to change wheels brakes headstock etc the whole front end basically!
the shock like the forks may say ohlins on it but this is only because yamaha bought the company the spring will tailored for the fazer not the 916 .

But Why would someone want to do this in the first place????

[joe748]

the forks and shock where bought for the fazer, they're not standard yamaha parts.

the guy is selling the fazer and has put it back to standard and my mate was just trying to grab himself a bargain.

so the forks are out, would the shock not be worth buying? it's not hard to change a spring and as far as i know they're not that expensive.

cheers,
joe

springs can be changed but not done it myself though. hyperpro are supposed to be pretty good springs
