Just wondering if the RZV500 fork ends fit on the RZ500 forks. Are the RZV500 fork ends available anywhere (new or used)?
I had a look on the RZV fiche and it looks like the part numbers are 98706-05010/15R-23168-00/51X-23111-01. Is this correct?
Also, on the top of the fiche is part 51X-2318J-01. What is this item?
Thanks
robert

Hello,
The part no`s you quote are correct, but there are a lot more bits to make RD forks match RZV forks.
part 51X-2318J-01 - is an air balance tube between the two forks .
Therefore you can assume that the chrome fork legs are different, ie they have a hole in the legs to allow the air to do it`s job.
IMHO I doubt if you would notice any difference between the forks, on my RZV I have tried the different settings on the adjusters ( part no 15R-23168-00) and i can`t tell any real difference.
Unless you can get a pair of forks at a reasonable price second hand< Iwouldn`t bother about it.
Cheers Bill
