What forks on a 98 900ss
Hi all,
Can anyone here tell me what make of forks a '98 900ss would have shipped with, and what the standard spring rate would have been (in kgs preferably!).

Would it have been a Showa 43mm with a .62kg spring???

Thanks all.

Mine has Showas (65mm) but have been upgraded with Hyper-pro progressive springs. A 2000 750ss I had, had the Showas too.
