Hi Eric, erm actually I got em all from Jasper - as he has upgraded to something even more 'bling' for his 888.

I'm not sure what brand the adapter is actually but its very well made.

I changed my m/c some time ago and have fitted a ZX7R unit, if my fading memory stills serves me correctly.

Jasper cant remember about the adapter plates - look similar to the ones from Kamna:

I remember someone fitting a set of R1 forks to a Duke as well, good tuning options apparently.

Mood: Must fix Superlight... Must fix Superlight...
I believe the latest GSXR forks have the same measurements as the "low-rent" Showa forks.

I've got SBK forks on my SL (same front end as the 888) and to be honest for the aggravation involved I wouldn't do it again. It didn't cost too much overall even including the Cyclecat top yoke 'cos SuperLight parts can go for silly prices on fleabay (SuperLight parts are "special" you know...) but I'm not convinced the improvement over a set of "worked on" standard forks is noticable to a rider like me.

Now if a GSXR front end were a straight drop in...
