I notice that my 2000 r6 forks and the 03 R6 forks are the same diameter. Does this mean that I would be able to slip 03 forks straight into my yokes?

Obviously I would need the wheel and spindle but would I require the 03 calipers too or would my normal 00 ones fit?

Hmm, the silence is telling me that I asked a stupid question Laughing

Honestly don't know. Have you tried an R6 forum?

If they are the same diameter I see not reason why they wouldn't fit. The calipers may go on, but they may not line up with the 2003 disks on the 2003 wheel.

You could probably get better results by just getting your 2000 forks rebuilt and resprung though.

I've got a feeling they are pretty much the same, but not 100%.

I'd agree on getting your current ones sorted, unless it's a case of replacing some on the cheap Smile.

Yep that's the one Laughing

Mine are knackered now with their strange differences in adjustments between each other as well as other issues.

I've got some 99-02 R6 forks here that I should get rid off, but got a feeling they might need seals doing.
