Noooo, not my foks !

Kiwibiker
Bummer, wne t to get a warrent of fitness, and have my carbs sinced up, ( now runs beautiful), only to be told my for staunchion is all scrathed, and thats why the things are leaking fork oil onto my brakes !!!
Can anybody tell me, if there are forks that will fit my Bike off another model ?>
CB750 C fiorks are non existant in NZ, and if I can put another models forks on, I will, but maybe the Custom model has longer forks, for the rake ?
Please help with info, anybody ?

Ride to suevive !

The best I can find right now is that on bike bandit, the parts numbers for the fork assemblies are almost the same for the C and the K. I would assume the K fork tubes can be used. It might be worth looking into if you can get some for cheap, otherwise get new ones from an outfit like Forks by Frank (google).
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!

Thanks re run, I though K forks would fit, as most of the other parts are interchangeable as well. The rake doesnt look any different to me, Honda just put a two stage seat, and half cowhorn handle bars on a K model as far as I can tell.I think I'll try and find some. I suspect strongly that the current pair of forks are actualy K model, becuase on my previuosly owned CB750 C I had air assisted forks, and this one doesnt. Actualy, my CX500 C was the same, air ssisted forks. I wonder if it was standard, or if the air asst was somthing Honda kept especualy foir the "Custom" bikes ?
Thanks for you help buddy.
