636 Fork Breakage

Re: 636 Fork Breakage
I just put a zx10 front end on my bike, i love it, just have to swap stems and use zx10 lower triple you can still use 636 top trip, when you have db its a huge time saver to note have to switch upper trip:YEAH

Re: 636 Fork Breakage
this seems like the way to go. What year can u use? what else are u using? brake system? wheel? just the forks/lower triple? what about stem bearings?

Re: 636 Fork Breakage
i put an 05 zx10 front end on my 03 636, whole ******* thing, just pressed 636 stem out of lower trip and pressed into zx10 lower trip, that way stem is long enough, all races, bearings work just fine, used zx10 wheel rotors, the whole thing works, just need to switch that stem because 636 trip wont fit over forks on bottom trip, message me if you have ? i just did it, took like 3 hrs including shop time to press stems out and in

Re: 636 Fork Breakage
arent the 10 forks alot shorter. i know with dirtbike bars it wouldnt matter but with clipons it definatly would cause when i was lookin into them they were like atleast an inch shorter

Re: 636 Fork Breakage
yeah an inch shorter and yeah with db it dont matter, most liter bike front ends are shorter, so anyone rockin em just deals with it, aint that bad, just adapt, alot better than snappin some **** right? Inch really doesnt feel that different
