Title: 1100 Sporti WP forks
Post by: Doug McLaren on January 02, 2015, 02:53:08 PM

Hi. I've got a 1998 1100 Sport with the upside down WP forks. There's a bit of play on one of the legs so I suspect the bushes are worn. I've been reading up as much as I can about these forks and it seems that parts are quite hard to find. I was wondering if anyone knows where to get new bushes or failing that, what the dimensions are so that I can see if there are any alternatives. Thanks.

Most will tell you the parts are unavailable and do something stupid like put on Suzuki GSXR forks. The parts are not easy to find, but here`s a start. http://www.stein-dinse.biz/eliste/?sid=1c1cg534999gc8114388g&lg=en

Thanks for that Kentktk. Funnily enough I've got that exact page open right now on my screen, however the bushes are showing as no longer available. I've got the split bushes out and measured them and I think I've found a supplier, that is if I've measured them correctly ! Haven't taken the other ones out yet though as it looks like I'll have to remove the seal first and it was getting a bit cold in the garage. Even just finding out the correct dimensions would be a great help.
