Well still waiting on the postman so pulled the forks apart to check them and get ready for the upgrade. All looks really good. Seals seem fine and everything else is in great nick. Almost temped to put the them on the FXR for now. I have a second set of Clamps I could convert with the FXR steerer tube. The offset could be wrong will check that later. NSR is 35mm from memory.

Don't forget spring rate is only half the battle, valving is the other half... You can have the right spring rate/and sag and then ride it and use sweet fuck all of the stroke due to valving being far too restricted.
Emulators should bring it up too a decent standard... Can you buy em straight off the RT site?
Nice project, are you gonna give hamish the smash when its done?
You can buy Emulators from kss and install them your self no worries. Loads cheaper than fork replacement and tuneable if you know what you're doing. I've made quite a few changes to the ones in Dean's sv over the years.
Just had a little measure up with the NSR forks. They are the same offset as an FXR so will go on quite nice. Could be a really good upgrade from standard. They are light stiff and you can get a massive selection of springs for them. I haven't checked the steerer size yet but they might even go straight on with a 5mm spacer in the top. So if you can find some MC21 or 28 forks for cheap they could stiffen your the FXR front quite a bit.
RGV usds are cartridge no damper rod. They cheaped out on adjusters on all but SP models.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
