    Race Tech shows your forks to be Showa 41mm. What I'd recomend is go over to Race Tech and use their search feature to find out what other motorcycles use the same Showa 41mm forks. From there you'll get an idea of what vehicles to look for.

    From my own search so far, early Honda VFRs, Honda CBR F2 & F3s and Honda VTR1000 Super Hawk use a Showa 41mm fork.

      400 & 600 bandits, 600F, 750f, rf 600, sv650, early 750 & 1100 slngshots all have 41mm dia forks of very similar design, although the lengths & brake mountings + discs differ

      If you want better forks & brakes its quite simple to swap the complete front end to pretty much anything you want with a bearing or stem swap

          +1. Swapping forks isnt so easy. You can end up with a clusterfk of figuring out what wheel will fit, what axle diameter or length, what brake discs and calipers...... Easier to swap a whole front end, or use katana forks again. But hey, its winter, so we all have time to figure stuff like this out!
