K6/K7 Front Forks - F1?

(1/3) > >>

Coppertop1234:
Looking at our options and it would seem that F1 forks are limited in availability .We presently have F2 forks fitted but my question is in compatibility of various models.

I know the F1 fork legs are longer than the K6, but could I fit the f2 chromed fork legs into K6 or K7 bottom units.
or are they similar but not compatible.?

Any options for consideration the f2 fork legs has no fittings on the bottom units for the F1 mudguards
We can keep what we have for present but just so I know what to watch out for when I find them for sale

Trigger:
You will find that K6 forks are 341 and K7 are 393, so are different.
I would just keep my eye out for a set of F1's, even if they are pitted and get them re-chromed ;)

Hi Trigger

I was hoping to use the chromed legs from the F2 forks and fit them into F1/K6/K7 Bottom alloy legs (if I can find any)

If its just the length of the chromed tubes thats different it shouldn't be a problem using a F1/K6/K7 bottom unless they just ain't compatable.

I don't want to be spending daft money and ending up with a mismatch that just won't fit - like you say ideally  just find a bog standard set of F1 forks - problem would be solved

Bryanj:
I could be wrong but i thought the F2 had different seal sizes

Think I have some K7 bottoms .. well got the whole legs but stanchions are deffo sha**ed
