I need a set of forks and bottom yoke due to accident damage.
There seem to be a lot more 2ma forks around and I wondered if they would fit my bike?
Thanks Very Happy

There's someone on the TZR Forum asking the same question. No, wait, that's you... Embarassed

2MA is single disc innit ? So that's gonna screw up your existing brakes. You'll probably find it easier transplanting a complete 2MA front end anyway rather than mixing and matching parts. Having said that, the front end on mine is made up of parts from 3MA, 3XV, FZR250 and TZR125R.

Yes, carpet bombing works !

It's only the top tubes that are bent so I can reuse the bottoms to retain the wheel / disc setup.
I'm hoping it's cheaper to source them this way than to have the ones I've got straightened and rechromed.

Interesting. Sadly, I don't know the answer. They've certainly got different part numbers but that doesn't necessarily mean they won't fit I suppose.

Stop messing about and put a USD front end on it ! Laughing

I have the answer now and it is a NO. The upper tube diameters are:
2ma = 37mm
3ma = 41mm
