Default help!!!!

guys can anyone help me to identify the year of this front end on my bike? i was told it was from a blade when i bought it and they're showa forks.
i've trawled through google images and ebay looking for calipers to fit it (mounting holes are 82mm centres) but have had no joy whatsoever! is it really from a blade????

it looks a bit newer than my 93 900RR, mine has a little differnt look to that one little bracket, but still looks like a RR fork. i would say it either a 96 or 97 with out closer inspection. i will try and post a pic of the one on mine to compare. also i will try and measure my mounting holes for ya. hang in there your at the right place, one of our brothers or sisters will find an answer for ya

after crackin a beer and grabbin dial calipers, my 93 900 RR's caliper bracket hole spacing is 62mm. so its def not an earlier model fork.but just for ****sandgiggles i measured my 2001 929 and its caliper bracket hole spacing is the same at 62mm. maybe toptaz can measure his 99 for ya and we' start narrowing it down. are you sure it is a Honda fork? with that wide hole spacing beginning to wonder , hope this helps ...peace

look at the rim, rotor for markings, part #'s and such that would help narrow it down

thanks man!
well i'm starting to wonder myself now! she has a honda stamp in the headstock and theyr're Showa forks , but on closer inspection she's got a 3 spoke kawasaki front wheel- i thought it was from a later blade before being a 17incher........, but kwackers never rolled with Showa forks did they???
I guess ill have to spend a few more hours on google images numbing my brain and searching!
