Upon further research I now believe K1 GSXR 750/1000 forks also fit the raptor yokes.
depending on if you want raptor wheel/brakes then further issues arise.

Re: R1 forks what model
Have ridden both and have R1 forks fitted to my rap.
Both felt razor sharp and quite firm a ride but thats to be expected from a pure sports bike and they were probably set up that way.
I know the R1 has a load of useable adjustment in its forks and they can be made quite compliant and soft even, I have never messed about with the GSXR forks so cant really comment but the R1 forks are famous for their adjustability and longevity so thats why I went for them rather than anything else.
The early R1 was a little sports/tourer oriented whereas the earlier GSXR`s where much more focussed (and uncomfortable) so it comes down to what you want from it and how you want to ride it..........................

Re: R1 forks what model
No worries, and looking at ebay etc. R1 forks tend to be much cheaper secondhand than the GSXR`s probably as the latter had 320mm discs and "gold" titanium nitride coating!

I run K4 GSXR600/760 forks on my SV650 race bike and they're a great setup.
I think they can for the raptor triples. I will investigate further.

I had the same forks on my sv1000 they are Showa, with some r1 monoblock calipers. They were awesome!Lexio62 wrote:55 years agoI run K4 GSXR600/760 forks on my SV650 race bike and they're a great setup.
