whick forks are SBK ?????

[corey]

just measured my S4 forks and they are 50mm top yoke 54mm bottom yoke 65mm caliper spacing and 72.5cm long

am looking at a pair of ohlins off an apprillia that are 51mm top yoke 56mm bottom yoke 65mm caliper spacing and 73.5mm long so i reckon they will be a good option , a minimal amount of machining on the yokes 0.5mm off at top and only 1mm at bottom yoke , 10mm longer is no problem as i have risers already.... the axle is 25mm so should not be an issue only the mudguard/fender is different but thats sortable either with second hand apprillia or a fibreglass replacement

i reckon $650 for a set of decent Ohlins vis a vis messing with showas /revalves etc is a better option as the base fork will be much superior to start and i have wasted 3 years and $400 on the standard crap already

any opinions would be appreciated before i take the leap???

i'd be wary of milling out a BOTTOM triple to accept 56mm forks. a top triple? okay. but a bottom? i dont know about that.
