hey guys does anyone know if a later model kwacka front end will bolt on to a 95 zxr750 ,if so any idea of what models i should be looking at .reason for this is my fork legs have small amounts of rust on them and keep blowing seals and its going to cost plenty to fix so im thinking upgrade.

You need a 1996 onwards ZX7R front end Pav, the top triple is the same as the ZXR so you need the forklegs & lower triple & it will bolt straight up.
You'll also need different calipers, 95% of the Tokico 6 pots off any Jap bike will fit the 7R forks.
Wheel, discs, spacers & speedo drive are identical between ZXR & ZX7.
The added bonus with the 7 forks is that you'll have full damping adjustability & the chrome doesn't wear off like the ZXRs.
The last model ZX7s had the trick black DLC type coating on the sliders so go for those if you can find some.

100% correct but good luck finding some for less that what i would cost to rechrome the ones you already have

will my calipers bolt onto later model forks until i get some more cash ,and yes the chrome is crap on the older ones i will start hunting ,scored a turbo as well so i will do my best to get that on when the funds permit so a brake upgrade may come in handy cheers boys thats why i like this site so much knowledge of stuff goes a long way lucky i paint bikes got to save money somehow.

the short answer is no you will need a caliper with a 90mm bolt spacing

you need a 94 upside down front end chum.
I happen to know somebody who has forks and stanchions :D for grabs.
You could then make your calipers and wheels fit
PM me if interested
