Not at all Ian. That is why I have put it up.

If anyone else has any parts that might be of use please let me know.

Looks a good starting point yer got there TLC :up

As Redbeard said Zephyr wheels are sumwhat similar (5 spoke) or alternatively have you considered CBR600 /900 17" wheels (6 spoke) both options will be easier on the pocket than the OZ wheels?
Think the early Blades had 43mm RWU forks - but a 16" front wheel.

I'm using 43mm Triumph T595 509 RWU forks, They're Showa and I had them on my Spondon Fireblade, they are flippin' great forks and are very good quality

Looking forward to se the progress on this one Chris

Thanks for the suggestion Spondon.

One question I have is about length and will these be about the same as stock with the 17" wheel. IE ground clearance.

I have looked at XJR, ZRX and ZXR9 but have the same question with all of these.

The best ones I have seen fitted are from the CB1000 big one, right length look great and you may be able to fit a swingarm from the same bike.

You just know it's Wrong.

Even if I did search for 'onda wheels on ebay last night. :oops:

I think you'll do the right thing Chris.

Hi Chris, yes they are shorter with the standard 17" wheel..I like that kind of look, and steering angle..... it's a bit similar to the Racefit Z1 which actually has a 16" front wheel I think

If you are going with smaller wheels, I have a set of longer USD forks...
as can be seen in the backgound here...

I even have a set of Spondon billet yokes too :wink:

keV. I think trail bike forks may be a bit too long :roll:

Chris, I think you are right to stick with RWU forks, they do look better imo. That being said, I'm using upside downies on my next one but that's only because I need to use the ones I have.
