1000ds Forks Compatible With 900ss?

  1. Does anyone know if the forks from a 1000DS can be swapped with those on a 900SS?

  3. Likley yea, although some of the later forks are longer so stick thru further

  4. Speedo drive on 900 from front wheel if its 3 spoke, 1000 is off rear wheel with sensor. Might need to grind 1.5mm off speedo gearbox to get wheel central. I did this when I put multistrada 1000 legs and SS yokes with a 996 wheel on a 907.
    All SS injected legs are same length, carby are 30mm shorter.

  7. Yes but one is leaking, from the upper part of the fork (not the seal/stanchion area). Brake cable has rubbed the f**k out of it.

  8. In which vase your caliper sizes will probably be. Different as will the axle I think?

  10. Chck it first, but think the DS willbe 65 mm spacing and not a 17mm axle. May be yours isnt either?? I only know the smaller variant, 600 and 750

  12. Do you mean through the gold shroud?

    Might be easier to find a secondhand replacement for that than trying to match up forks from another model.
