Fork size question

greybullit -> Fork size question (5/11/2008 2:09:41 PM)
Are the forks on the 03-04's the same size as the 05-06's?

Jason748 -> RE: Fork size question (5/11/2008 8:55:00 PM)
Nope, completely different.

SurfnSCal -> RE: Fork size question (5/12/2008 11:34:19 AM)
No they are not. I believe that in 05 they switched from standard forks to inverted forks.

greybullit -> RE: Fork size question (5/13/2008 12:44:09 PM)
that would explain why the clip on i got from an 03-04 didn't work on my 06, damn! thanks for the help

Yes, they inverted the forks in 2005 but you can mount them on a 2003-2004 600 RR, which is my next big upgrade. Check this link: http://www.600rr.net/vb/showthread.php?t=101981

jfunk, what do you need to replace those forks? Just the upper and lower triple clamps? Do the steering bearings remain the same?

jfunkRR -> RE: Fork size question (5/14/2008 6:34:26 AM)
Surfn...If you read the link above, this guy laid out everything for you...I would use whatever neck bearings come with the new forks...I have found multiple sellers on 600RR.net that have full front ends for sale and will sell everything needed for around $500. What parts will I need?The 05-06 front end swaps straight onto the 03-04 neck, so no special parts are needed. These parts from your 03-04 can be reused: 03-04 Wheel & Rotors 03-04 Controls (throttle, starter module, high/low beam switch, etc) 03-04 Neck bearings, bearing races, and dust covers (internals of neck) 03-04 Axle 03-04 Brake Master Cylinder 03-04 Ram Air Covers (will need to be trimmed) These parts from the 05-06 are needed for the conversion: 05-06 Fork tubes 05-06 Lower triple clamp (with neck) 05-06 Upper triple clamp 05-06 Clip-ons (will also need a new grip for left clip-on, more on that later) 05-06 Wheel spacers 05-06 Brakes (calipers, pads, lines) *05-06 Front Fender
