Fork help needed

Post by Streetmann »

I no some of you on here no your stuff and can point out what bolt belongs where , I have a kawasaki z750s 2005 that needs new fork tubes ,it's not the most popular bike so parts cost more and can not even find a used set let alone a good used set I don't mind spending the money just don't want to pay a premium if I don't have to .it was never a top end bike and I'm sure kawasaki chucked it together with parts from other bikes and would not of designed such basic forks just for this bike .my question is does any one on here no what there the same as iv looked at forums and can only seem to find chat about what they have swapped them for ie usd forks ect any help would be appreciated cheers

The z750s forks were shocking from the start.
I would be looking at upgrading rather than repairing.

Personally I would be looking out for a z750r or zx6r setup. (Will need brakes yokes, wheel and everything but will make a big big difference)

I do think that the z750s forks are very similar to the er6 ones also if memory serves me well.
