Title: forks
Post by: moto monster on July 14, 2010, 12:33:34 AM
will 1999 Ducati 900SS forks work on 2003 m620? and will the  :-\brake calipers be the same?

Not 100% sure, but mostly that the axle is different. If it's like my 2000 monster, the speed to is mechanical and linked to the front wheel. So the axle has a different diameter and you'd possibly need some spacers like this http://www.tpoparts.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=273&osCsid=20g17fmtj1ld6l5a726e88ujj2 (http://www.tpoparts.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=273&osCsid=20g17fmtj1ld6l5a726e88ujj2) and different wheel bearings to use those forks... and the axle of course.

As far as the calipers - those should be the same 65mm mount you have.

Aren't the top tubes longer than the Monster tubes?  Measure your M forks (axle c/l to triple clamp) so you can install the SS at the same height.

SS900 forks were changed after 1998 and the later ('99-'01) forks fit >2002<2008(?) Monsters perfectly - except for length.  They're way too long, and require a change in handlebars, IME.  I installed them on my 2003 M800 and went to above-the-triple clip-ons.

The stock springs in the '99 SS900 forks are weak progressive rate ones, and the RaceTech replacements don't fit - they're too small in ID, at least the pair that I bought were.  ST springs are the correct diameter and length.
