01 forks vs 04>>>zx12
so I bought a set of 2004 forks for my 01... to my complete suprise.....the 04 forks are 1 3/4 inches longer than the 01. My 01 was used when I bought it and the 04 forks are used as well... so I am assuming that either set of forks were modified????? maybe short blocks for lowering,,,,, can't see the two years having that big of a difference in fork length????? anyone know???

I heard the other day the the wheel base is an inch shorter with the older style forks. I assumed they did it with rake from the triples but looks like they did with longer forks.
Let us know what you find out.

Hey>>> checked the 04 forks against another "A" bike and they were the same length also checked the diameter and thats the same as well. So its safe to say that my suspicions were right and the forks in my 01 were tampered with,,,,or lowered for drag racing.

Check the bottom clamp and fork diameter again.
