fitting zx9r rwu forks to 1980 z1000, understand i need to swap bearings, what size bearings do i need ?

Out of curiosity and to learn something could you tell me the model of forks you are fitting?

Much appreciated.

If you're using the standard yokes you'll have less steering lock and a bit less length, the C1 C2 and E forks are fairly long compared with modern forks but are still a bit shorter that original Z forks. I have C forks on my Z1000 but I got yokes made with a step and some offset. I assume F forks are the same length but are scarcer.

I don't know if a bearing swap will do or if you'll need to transplant a stem...
