Ok so i'm going to swap USD forks onto my f3, but I wanted to find some forks that were close to the length of the f3 ones because otherwise the forks will be shorter and more unstable at higher speeds. As a result I would have to find a steering dampener but they are expensive and I don't have the money to spend on it. So my question is, what forks would be best. I've heard of people using gixxer 750 forks and i've heard people using late model cbr forks. Are there any others out there that i don't know about? I've done a ton of research so I know most everything about the swap, I am just struggling at finding fork lengths for other model bikes. Any help would be awesome! Thanks everyone

 

Let me start by asking why you want to do the swap?

The F3 forks actually work the best with the bike.

 

Mostly just for looks. I'm also swapping out the rear swingarm for a sssa. I've always wanted to do a cool custom build on a bike and now i finally have the time and money and a good bike. I got a 95 f3 for $450 that a guy nearly ruined by trying to do stunt riding with it. Most of the stuff is trashed on it so i'm going to do something custom and hang on to the bike for a while

 

I've been looking into this too, only thing I can find is people using 954 fireblade forks, only problem is they are about an inch or two shorter so you would need to lower the back end to even things up. Also it can hit the radiator lock to lock so may have to extend the steering stops or move the rad back.

 

I've also carried out a SSSA on my F3 will try and post pics up later or even start a build thread.

 

Alright i got in touch with underground-mpyre. He gave me this info from when he swapped a 98 gixxer 750 front end onto his f3.

"First of all, let me start by I have a F23(conversion) streetfighter. I have the front end off of a '98 Gsxr, 600 or 750, doesn't matter except size of the calipers. No matter what your wheels with any swap won't match your back one. But at 80 miles per hour no one can tell. You will need the triple tree, forks, front wheel, calipers and master cylinder. You go to allballsracing.com to find the conversion for the headset, they have done all the work for you for top and bottom bearings. Nothing really can be used from the front end from the F3. I went with a 120/70 front tire, handles better in the twisties and raises you front end the difference of the forks."

I think this sounds like the best option because it is the closest to the original ride height

 

Okay here is what works on the F3

Honda:
'91 to '98 CBR600F2/F3, '06 to '07 EX650R, '88 to '90 NT650 Hawk, '90 to '97 VFR750, '92 to '96 CBR1000, '98 to '02 VTR1000/Superhawk, and '89 to '90 CB1.
Kawasaki:
'90 to '97 ZX6/R, '06 to '08 Ninja 650R, and '88 to '90 ZX10.
Suzuki:
All GSF400/600 Bandit, '88 to '97 GSXR600/750/1100, '99 to '07 SV650, and '86 to '87 GSX750/1100.
Yamaha:
'94 to '95 YZF600, and '87 to '88 FZR750/1000.

Of those, it looks like the Suzuki forks might be your best bets for performance and tuning ability.
