Just thought I would let you know how things are progressing: I managed to get a Suzuki K6 6oo/750 rear shock that fits almost perfectly, just got to shave a nicky whisker off the swing arm plate for the wider spring and space out the top mount, but it looks great,(photos to follow).
I dropped off the fork yokes and clip on brackets to Steve who is having them taken out to 43mm from 41mm, the original top yoke does not have that much meat around where the fork passes through but steve will let me know. But Ash gave me a CBR 600 top yoke which is 43mm and is the same spread as the TZR, the only thing that will need to be altered is the center hole, its just a tad too big so if Steve bores it out a little more I can fit a top hat spacer, so either way the forks should be in the bike by next weekend, fingers crossed! I also picked up the TZ wheels when I was at Steve's, and as they are in pretty good condition I can save some cash by not haveing them powder coated, just need a good clean.
