You might be in luck. I bought an xr600 one last year hoping it would fit the xr650r but it doesnt. They changed the front axle thickness on the 600 at some point.

I believe mine is for a 17mm witdh (I'll measure tonight). what axle width do you have on your bike?

For those of you that have already done this I could use some advise on setup.
Front is very soft and will need respringing, I weigh 200lb 90kg, but what other setting are others running.
Have you dropped forks through clamps, How Far?
Front rebound and compression setting that work for you and your weight/riding style.
Any advise appreciated
Cheers

I have dropped my forks down about 1.5cm in the clamps, I've had my forks revalved and resleeved so mine might be quite different to yours.
What you want to do is work out how many clicks you have for adjustment then start at about 70% hardness and play around with them from there
Take a screwdriver with you on your next ride and everytime you stop give them a half turn etc

i bought some bits and pieces in a trademe sale, was a box of cruiser crap but alas there was a screen all for the price of $6 and then i was scanning trademe and a Givi screen with mounts poped up for a very fair price and walla, so to answer the question the screen is of a big fat arsed cruiser of which i've cut down and the mounts are of the Givi screen.

So + =
