What Showa forks do I have? and what can I put on them?

[slowkitty]

Dear all,

My first few posts so do bear with me if I am less than clear.

Restoring a 2000 M900ie now.  The bike was upgraded with Showa forks that are fully adjustable; the problem that I have is that I want to install clip-ons to replace a damaged pair, and I cannot ascertain the size of the forks. My measurements tell me that the fork tubes where the triple mounts are 48mm diameter but this seems to be an odd size; clip-ons seem to sell at 50mm and 53mm.

Am I measuring them wrong? 

Here's a pic of the previous clip-ons .. what are these?




Thanks, and Cheers

They are 50mm and they (the forks) are stock (only the Dark had the non adjustable)

Those are MotoWheels' clip-ons. You could just get new handles to replace the bent/damaged ones. They're only $25 per bar. Look HERE

Thanks for the feedback.  Hmmm, I really thought that my calipers show 48mm.  Would it help if I show a pic of the entire fork after I dismantle the front end?

Anyway, planning to mod the triple yoke, so I am in the market for a stock triple yoke if anyone is letting go of theirs after an upgrade.  Educating myself on clip-ons now too.

Merry Christmas ..... 

Cheers

Those are definately the 50mm forks. If you're looking for a clip on with some rise I seem to recall seeing some Cyclecat 50mm available in our classified section.

If they are not still available there always seems to be someone here selling a set. Try doing a search.

Here is a set of LSL's:
