Ideally the forks because mine are shagged.

I think your asking if you can fit some bits from a Kawasaki straight onto a Suzuki............ Thumbs Up

Why don't you just go onto ebay or similar and find the correct parts. Here's a set https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1991-Suzuki-GSXR-400-Fork-Legs-/320619261964?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item4aa665b00c

If the measurements, lengths and brackets are the same then you could swap the parts but the chances of that are Thumbs Down

unless someone knows better

The reason I asked is because someone I know is breaking one and I could do with a load of random bits.

Unlikely they will fit straight up, but nothing to say that with some time they can't be made to fit, you can fit the whole front end from the ZXR onto an NC30 with a spacer and bearings.

If they're the same diameter at the yoke clamp points and the same length thats the major ball ache sorted, after that you'll need to worry about caliper bolt spacing, spindle sizes etc. Would end up easier and probably cheaper in the long run to get GSXR forks Smile

Tyres are the same size, some of the nuts and bolts will fit.

Not alot else will.

It's surprising how easy some front end swaps are, quite often it's just a case of swapping over the stem on the bottom yoke. These are usualy press fitted though so would need to be done somewhere where they have a power press.

The problem is that sometimes, the front end won't match the original rear end, resulting in poor handling. First thing to check would be the size of both front and rear wheels on both bikes. If the ZXR has the same size front wheel as the GSXR it's a good start. Next thing to check is the length of the forks, from the front wheel spindle to the bottom yoke.

If the wheels don't match then you need to look into fitting the GSXR wheel into the ZXR forks. If possible though, swap the whole front end.
