CB13 front end

[whale]

After a massive cow induced highside on my way home from the GP, the front of my CB now looks like this

Anyone got a set of USD forks to suit or ideas of what to look for

[Gitzy]

Ouch, thats no good Whale, hope your all good.. seen as though you 'have' to replace them, I'd definitely go for something with radial calipers, cos there good and they look sweet.. maybe a set within the same ballpark measurements as the CB is already sporting as to not adversely alter the steering geometry too much.. maybe some nice 08 onwards busa forks..

Being a Honda,i'd probably stick with Honda,and hope for an easy swap?
Maybe a Fireblade front end??

Crap that's no good man.

just as well you weren't on the Harris!

Small consolation I know. [B)]

I'm OK, just some busted ribs and a couple of sore, black ankles.

[RevHead]

Black bird front may fit for a quick fix, tubes are very close in length

Firstly, glad ur ok and not too broken.

Secondly, I may have a set of CBR1000RR forks available within the next week or so. Just waiting on an axle for my new set of forks and if they fit the CBR one's are on the market.

you should never let cows ride youre bike

[hyofighter]

if you can find out if the stem length and bearings are the same as cbr 900 , i think cbr600 , then youll find that cbr 929/954 , rc51 , cbr1000 front ends will straight swap only thing you may find is the length of the forks may be shorter , but cbr929 had a gull wing top clamp and will give about 15/20 mm , gsxr forks i think also will slip in the honda clamps but mods to axle and wheels spacers need to be done , i have a excel spread sheet i scored from vfr discussions if ya need it has some offset and fork specs

fuck Stu that's FUBAR but like Hagarr said glad it wasnt the Harris. where abouts did that happen ?I was gonna give u a yell today too cos we're doing the nymboida loop on sunday but it sounds like you mightn't feel like putting gear on for a few weeks.
and Sam LOL have you seen the "cows with guns " film clip ?

[Shadowzone]

I'll be in Brisbane this weekend Boris so I'm out for the Nymboida run. I think the Honda may have dropped a valve, if it has it will be all over for the big girl.

I need to find the time to open her up and have a look before I look at fixing the front

[whale]

I forgot to add, it happened just outside Bingara on the Copeton Dam road
