What forks on a 98 900ss

JasonBoswell · 01-May-2009, 00:49

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.

I have a feeling they're Showa GD021 forks but no idea what spring would be in them.

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