Hot Damn thats sweet looking!! Did you get your lights (HIDs) squared away?? Man that black on gold is bling schwing right there!!

Quick question. I have done the front end swap and the rear suspension swap but my mechanic said the calipers are not straight. I have 05 zx6 caliper mount on the 05 forks so do I need 10mm spacers?

The spacers only add distance to accommodate the bigger rotor. Your caliper being off sounds like your calipers are junk.

Hey all,

Have a 2010 Z750 here (2nd Gen) - Looks like I should be good to go for the fork swap however just trying to figure out 1 final detail. Most of the posts here talking about the Z750 wheel not working except with different bearings or machining the wheel - however they seem to be referring to the 1st gen Z750 - which has RWU forks not USD forks. Anyone know if this has changed in the 2nd Gen? So basically will I be able to get forks, axle, spacers, calipers, lines and then run it through the clamps and wheels? or will I need to get new bearings etc for the wheels?

Any info required let me know!

Looks like I may have found the answer to my own question (Although ebay isn't really a great place for 100% accurate research) - but seems that the 2nd gen Z750 uses a 20mm spindle *Cry*

Guess I need to fit some different bearings

so if i read this correctly i need a ~2mm caliper spacer to use '10 zx-10 calipers with '04 zx6 forks and '03 z1000 rotors?

Unless 2010 calipers are more shallow, 10mm is what you want. 03-04 636 forks used a 280mm rotor, the Z1000 is a 300mm. So a 10mm spacer is needed to offset the expanding rotor size. Also, not sure if you saw, the 03-04 forks are set from the factory for a much smaller rider and are less ideal than the 05-06. Plus the 05-06 forks run a 300mm rotor, so no spacer is need to offset the calipers.

I was pulling info from DYNAGREGO. Yes, the 2010 (i think 08+) zx10 caliper mounting lugs are different than zx6 caliper mounting. So it looks like with 03-04 ZX6 FORKS, 08+ zx10 CALIPERS and z1000 DISKS I should need a 2mm caliper mount spacer. Then another 10mm spacer if I want to step up to 320mm disks.

These forks because of the 280mm discs have 10mm lower caliper mounts than 05-08 ZX6 and 04-07 ZX10 forks.
So if you want to install zx10 08-11 calipers with 320mm discs as i do,you have to put 2mm spacer as mine+10mm spacer(the difference between of our forks)=12mm spacer finally.
To be sure,put some common 1 or 2mm spacers in the caliper bolt until the calipers sit fine on the rotor.Then measure the total length of these spacers and order the final one.

yeah he really knows his stuff.
