    https://www.cmsnl.com/suzuki-gsxr600...er_5112001h00/

    this site list or other vehicles that have the same part number.
    that said just because its a different part number doesn't mean it wont fit another model it can be small differences like colour or other foibles.

    If you are interested, I have a pair of complete forks from a k6-k7 600 that you could have for $400, just a wee drive to Clive they have the gold uppers, the lowers are in mint condition, let me know, 0272303644.

    Up date as promised.

    To date I have still not heard from Racetec. It was suggested to me that they probably prefer sales to be directed through a local supplier which would have been fine by me if they had said so. Presume that would be KSS in New Plymouth. Anyway, they didnt so I contacted Alvin, who kindly offered me the purchase of his set of 600 forks.

    I drove up to Hawkes Bay and did purchase his forks. Dimensionally they are identical and can bolt straight on. However, as the spring rate was unknown and given that the OEM part numbers are different, I suspect that the spring rate is slightly lower for the 600's and consequently transferred the springs from my old forks to Alvins ones. I did measure them both as a comparison and both length and diameter were the same. I also drained the oil and replaced with fresh oil 5wt fork oil to the same height as my old 750's forks. I also measured the rebound adjuster rods screw in length to the top cap as I was aware that Alvin had had Ktec internal installed. Put it all back together and reset sag etc.

    To check it out, this last weekend Vic motorcycle club held a 2 day event at Manfeild. Paid me monies and had a play. Yep they work bloody well. I only had to make 1 more click on the rebound and i was/am happy as a pig in muck. I should have said at the beginning that the bike is a track only bike and hence my hedging at buying some of the cheaper fork tube available.

    Many thanks to Alvin, a really good bugger and I enjoyed my time talking with him. Great to meet another old prick who loves bikes and totally worth the trip up to Hawkes Bay
