Hello from Seattle
Hey Guys,
I'm Daniel from Seattle, and have been riding for 3+ years. I ride a 2008 Ninja 650r. Recently hit some wet moss and bent my forks on a rock/ditch I slid into. Mainly here to find out what kind of fork swaps you all would recommend. I found some 2012 ninja 650r front forks I could swap with, but was wondering if that would actually fit my 2008 ninja 650r frame. Thanks in advance! Best, Daniel |

Welcome Daniel!
Not sure about your question, but there are a few bike techs on the forum who many know. Good luck!

Clarify
Thanks for the reply! I'm trying to replace my 2008 ninja 650 forks, and was wondering if I could just swap it out for a pair 2012 model ninja 650 forks. Wanted to know if it would effect anything (fairings, gas tank, lights, handle bars, etc), or if anyone has had any success in the past. Hope that clarifies a little.
