Will 06 1000rr forks work on an 03 954? Thanks, Justin

 

As far as I know, as long as they are 50mm tubes they should. And then if they don't you might be able to take the triple clamps too and just find out if the ID (inner diameter) of the bearings are the same.

I didn't look in a manual or anything, so you might want to double check that info!

 

Let me guess, you're sick of changing fork seals too huh? If you find out let me know, I was just wondering the same thing today, I replaced my fork seals last night and the left one's leaking already...that and the 954 forks are sloppy.

 

Well, according to Moron900 (4th post down) he put the 1000rr forks, discs and calipers on his 954.

I've got to say, the idea of updating the front end is quite interesting. If you think about it, selling the 954 forks will get you near $400. That is damn near the same price I have seen for the 1000rr's fork legs. So, add the cost of the rotors, calipers and possibly a front fender the overall cost of this suspension swipe would not run too much. I found calipers for $80 shipped and rotors anywhere from $150 used to $450+ dollars new depending on how bad *** you go!

The one significant difference size wise is the length of the upper fork leg. 15mm shorter on the 1000rr. That is roughly 3/5 of an inch.


Found it on 1000rr.net

 

interesting. I do not know about the 954 forks blowing seals. I never have blown one and I have set my bike down from a wheelie numerous of times very hard. One time so hard I nailed my helmet on my wind screen.

 

a few times is not goin to do it although it will not help... the one i bought had them blow out at about 4k.. i bought it with 3300.. and it was laid down from being flipped from what i can tell.. but they are def not the best around.. but i think it just has a bad name because of such torque of these powerful bikes and people not knowing how to set a front end down

 

Yes the 1000rr fork wil fit but it will lower the front of the bike
