arg more triple tree woes

[haunter]

so I bought a triple tree on ebay, it was advertised as an 82 by the seller, but so was the dual front brakes and exhaust, and the forks.  yet somehow its too small for my seca turbo forks which I thought were the same diameter as the 83 V forks.....

any ideas?

if i remember right, the tripple trees will swap out in the frame. i don't think the forks will swap in the trees though...

yeah, I was sure he had 83 parts watching him sell all the other 83 parts, I bought the 83 front exhaust pipes I have off of him in.......


this pushes me even closer to snagging FZR600 stuff that I see go for cheap all the time swapping on that front end instead, way easier to come by parts!

Yeah, the Seca Turbo forks are 1-2mm bigger than the Visions.  The triple tree fits perfectly.

XZ550 forks are 35mm
XJ650 Turbo are 37mm

if you have 83 vision trees, and seca fork tubes, you can still make it work safely- just go to a machine shop, ask them to line bore the tress to match the tubes,,, i think i paid 100.00 last time i had it done (thruxton trees, harley forks and sliders)   the amount to be removed is small enough to still be safe and reliable,,, give that a try before you spend your kids college fund !!
